Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz SLK320 owners report experiencing inspection failures due to sensor reset issues. A common problem noted is the failure of the ESP sensor, particularly the brake pressure sensor, which can disrupt the functioning of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Additionally, failures of sensors such as the yaw sensor or the crankshaft position sensor can also lead to inspection complications. Owners may find it necessary to reset sensors like the ESP sensor after certain repairs or maintenance tasks to clear warning lights and confirm that maintenance has been acknowledged. It is crucial for owners to address these sensor failures promptly to prevent further complications and ensure successful inspection outcomes.
