Bas/esp Ml320

[Sbloxxy]

Hi all, had to remove the drivers seat on my '99 ML320 as the seat height mechanism was seized. In the process of doing this, I had to disconnect the electrical plug underneath the seat - as a precaution, I also disconnected the battery. However, now that its all back together, I have the BAS/ESP light on. Is this problem connected to the electrical plug under the seat or just co-incidence?

Start the car and turn the steering from lock to lock a few times. With a bit of luck it may put the light out for you.

As Uncle Benz, 3 times lock to lock

Just out of curiosity what causes this to happen when only the seat was removed?

Battery was disconnected so the steering angle sensor needs normalizing.

Ah - thanks

Thank you everyone - a perfect example of what a forum is all about!

Moving the steering from lock to lock did the trick. I've been seeing pound signs before my eyes for the last day or so...again.

Thanks again.
