Yea I have. The codes are pointing to oxygen sensor and vehicle speed sensor. I scanned the sbc and the only fault recorded was driver side wheel speed sensor which was replaced. May be I will rescan and revert. Thanks.

From experience working with Benz, after fixing faults you are suppose to clear the fault off the memory, before problem disappears. If not problem will still be there as if you've never fixed it.

That is a code is pointing to WSS doesn't mean always means the sensor is faulty , the computer fault management always speak a generic language that implies checking the area which involves performing further test with special equipment around the area mentioned and not always literally the stuff mentioned directly .
You will need to a good tech that is good with troubleshooting to check and analysis the wheel speed sensor signal to make sense out of the issue.

Yes sir. That I know and it has been a practice that whenever any mechanic works on my car especially electrical he must use his code reader to wipe off all DTC and I drive the car like a day or 2 to see if problem resurfaces.
