Mercedes bas esp light on, steering wheel shimmies

While driving my car today bas esp light came on and steering wheel pulls slightly to the left. Steering wheel shimmies also. Had alignment and brake flush 4 days ago. The shop is closed today so just trying to get suggestions as to why, and where I should start if it isn't something they did wrong.

SOURCE: steering shimmy when brakes applied

It sounds like either warped rotors or grease/oil on the pads. Jack up the front and pull the wheels off. Turn the rotors by hand to see if the rotors turn freely, then drag, then turn freely. If there is no grease or oil on the rotor surfaces, you need to either turn or replace the rotors. The job is a royal pain in the ****, so you may want to take it to a reputable shop.

SOURCE: whining from front left seems to be the tire, steering wheel slightly vibrates when turning left

If you swerve the car back and forth and the sound dissapeers when swerving to the left( reducing the weight on front left tire) this could indicate a wheel bearing problem

Loss of power

Pull up the diagnostic error codes with the help of diagnostic computer and repair as necessary.
Both the ASR (Anti Slip Regulation) and ESP are concerned with the brake system. ESP is the latest one which includes in it ASR, BAS, ABS and ETS in a single control module. It uses steering angle sensor, Yaw rate sensor, acceleration sensor and all wheel sensors to decide which wheel to brake.
In short, delete the error codes and calibrate the sensors.

ASB,ESP INOPRATIVE

All you have to do after replacing the battery and the bas/esp light comes on is drive the vehicle. While your driving around is will allow the steering angle sensor to relearn. That's only if it says "bas/esp see owners manual" displayed on the cluster.

After having R/R main crossmember and arm bracket pulled and straighten and a rear alignment the esp/bas and traction has come on and will not go off.Please could someone tell me the problem.

Try resetting the ESP/BAS system, with the car idling turn the steering wheel completely to the left then to the right then back to straight.
