My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out. Thank you for taking the time to let us help you out with this problem and hopefully we can sort it out quickly. Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem. Sometimes it may take a moment for me to respond because I may have to look up information about your concern. I appreciate your patience and will provide responses as soon as possible. Connecting a scan tool to the system will be necessary to see why the warning light is on because there are many different components in the system that could be faulty. It could be a sensor problem, wiring issue, module fault, [ABS](/topics-abs-mercedes/) pump malfunction, brake problem, etc. Scanning the system will produce a trouble code that will identify what specific component is having a problem. The trouble code will allow a diagnostic of that specific component failure. If you can have the vehicle scanned and give me this code, then I can pinpoint a specific problem to repair. My goal is to give you the best service possible and to help you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let me know. If I’m not online at the time, I will respond ASAP when I get back.
