Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz ML350 owners report experiencing ABS and traction warning lights that resolve once the vehicle warms up, which may indicate issues with the wheel speed sensors or electrical components sensitive to temperature changes. These owners have noted that a malfunctioning ABS wheel speed sensor can trigger the warning light, but it may temporarily function correctly when the vehicle is warm. Additionally, intermittent electrical connection problems affected by temperature fluctuations could lead to the warning lights turning off as the vehicle heats up. Some owners also find that moisture or contamination in the sensors or electrical components can cause erratic behavior that improves with warmth. If the warning lights persist, it is recommended that owners seek a professional inspection to diagnose and address the issue. In certain cases, resetting the ABS system by disconnecting the battery may help clear minor faults. Addressing these underlying causes is crucial for ensuring the safety and proper functioning of the ABS system.
