My Mercedes Benz ML350 year 2008 recently started displaying ESP alarm and won't clear even after several scan and attempted clearing with diagnostic equipment. The mechanic said it is faulty steering angle sensor, I ordered and changed out the part but alarm is still there. Please what could be the possible cause?

Secondly what's the correct engine drive belt size for this car, I bought 2404mm and the belt cut after three days, the mechanic said its 2420mm but manual says 2404mm, plz can someone help on this?

Thirdly, can all these alarms be deactivated and what will be the effect? Thanks

Seat belt, timing belt or serpentine belt?

For your mech to rush at your steering angle sensor shows how clueless he is about this issue.

Firstly, ESP means Electronic Stability Control. when this warning light comes on, it could be caused by a range of faults from your brake light switch, ABS/wheel speed sensor or even the brake pressure sensor. Sometimes you might have touched the ESP button without knowing it. the steering angle sensor is not the first bus/stop in this matter. You should find a better (High end) scanner like the MB STAR or even a Launch X431 which can read codes off your ESP control module to give you a clearer picture of what the issue is.

Secondly, as regards the right belt size for your car. If your manual says 2404mm, then that's the right size. if the belt keeps cutting, then one of your pulleys or tensioners are faulty and needs to be replaced

Don't disconnect the alarm. The problem in from the brake sensor. Check the four wheels of the suv well and change the brake sensor wires. You can havd a special agrement with car parts dealers by telling them to give you the four sensor wires when you fix & detect d faulty ones in ur own, you buy that one & return the other ones. I hv hrd same experience. Nothing do ur ml

Wow! a big thank you to Decotech and nwateacher1. I ll try ur advice.
