W211 brake warning

[Mercedes 190E]

Hi All

Yesterday, whilst my Wife was driving the W211, it flashed up a warning about a brake problem and said to see a garage. (Not the exact wording-she couldnt remember that.) Anyway, she pulled up and switched off. When she restarted it, the warning had gone (And has not yet reoccurred) and there are "No malfunctions" listed in the computer !

It was serviced a month ago by MB and had new rear pads-everything else is fine. I remember that the car flashed up the same warning to me about a year ago and it disappeared in the same way and didnt reoccur until now.

Any ideas as to the cause? It confuses me because I would have thought that if there WAS a brake problem, it would be logged in the malfunction menu, or at least appear constantly.......

Thanks.

This would have been an SBC fault or glitch that can come up sometimes,,if the message is in white then do not worry,,when any warning is in red,,then stop the car and see what happens on a re start

Thanks Malcolm-it was a white one, so nothing to worry about!
