Question

Visitor, Hawthorne, NJ, April 07, 2011, 07:17

My ABS MAP ESP Check engine light all came on at the same time on my 2001 S430, I usually do repairs myself I bought an OBD2 tester and got a P0700 TCM code. Took it to a shop and he got all ABS sensor codes on at the same time, since he is trans shop he could not figure it out, steering feels like there is no fluid and the trans starts and won't get out of 3rd gear, trans guy says there is nothing wrong with the trans. ANY HELP would be great
