Hi new to the forum, i have a 2016 Mercedes A180 D vehicle was recovered in with no power steering and electronic handbrake not working. connected diagnostic and multiple codes found. the main one that stands out to me as it appears in a number of modules is,

U012187 communication with ESP faulty. The message is lost.

there is also code for signals from brake lamp switch saying the message is lost again. Having read other threads i have seen that on older vehicles it requires brake light switch or ESP module but not to sure if this may apply to a newer vehicle such as this one.

Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure if I would risk the cost of parts replacement without either MB Star diagnostic or MB specific code readers like icarsoft .
