Hi folks, I wondered if anyone could shed some light on my wheel sensor fault.
2006 R class, ABS and warning triangle are on.
Code reader says rear left wheel speed sensor not working.
Replaced sensor, erased codes and it's no different.
Thought it may be a faulty aftermarket sensor - swapped with working one from the rear right, still fault lights on.
A better code reader has read "No CAN data 'Vehicle speed signal left rear wheel from control module N47-5 (ESP control module) or message faulty : read out fault memory of control module ESP. (P0500)"

The ESP fault reads "L6/3 (left rear speed sensor): Test wiring / plug connection"

The dash warning lights come on immediately (everytime) after starting without driving anywhere.
Does this sound like an ABS module fault - I believe they are pricey?

Any ideas before I splash out and take it to the dealership? Thanks
 
I can answer my own question now - broken wire somewhere around the rear suspension arms. Many thanks to Nick Webster Merc specialist near Macclesfield for sorting
