Mercedes ABS BAS ASR Light

Diagnosing Mercedes-Benz displaying ABS ASR BRAKE light on the dash. This ABS ASR light would come on when I pressed the brake or sometimes all three lights would be on after I started the vehicle.

It is always best to scan your vehicle for complete diagnostic, but this is just a quick reminder for a common problem. If you can do it yourself it is an inexpensive repair.
