BAS ESP Problem - one wheel brakes hard

[ant_harvey]

Hi - Im having a problem and looking for help if possible. I have a 2000 ML270, it has recently started aggressively braking the drivers side front wheel as I am traveling a low speeds (this is without me using the brakes and traveling in a straight line). Its clearly not safe to drive so I have left it with my local garage, they have read the codes - N64 (via a snap-on diagnostic tool) to be a problem with the Yaw sensor. They cleared the codes and put in a replacement sensor but the second time I drove the car it did the same thing. Note: The ESP BAS light comes on at startup and the triangle warning light comes on as it starts braking itself. The switch to turn off the ESP has no effect either way. The fault also seems to be intermittent but frequent. Any ideas, thanks in advance.

I had the same issue with my ML280, the Yaw setting was set incorrectly, the guy I go to sorted it easily with Star, not sure if it can be done any other way
