Mercedes C-Class: ABS / ESP warning lights after driving

If you are seeing this symptom in Singapore, use this as a pre-workshop checklist. The goal is to identify the likely root cause, avoid replacing the wrong part, and know the fair repair range before approving work.

Fair SG range
$120–$650
Red-flag quote
$1,800+
Likely fix
Wheel-speed sensor, brake switch or steering-angle calibration

What this usually means

ABS/ESP warnings are often wheel-speed sensors, brake-light switch, or yaw/steering-angle calibration before full ABS pump failure. Ask for live wheel-speed data and fault-code proof.

What to ask the workshop before approving repair

  • • Show the diagnostic fault codes.
  • • Show photo/video proof of the failed part.
  • • Give an itemised quote for parts and labour.
  • • Explain why cheaper common fixes were ruled out.
  • • Use/confirm: Star Diagnostic XENTRY

This is not a final diagnosis. It is a money-saving checklist before you go workshop.
