Could be either a bad fuel pump relay or a bad Ets relay.

Could be either a bad Fuel Pump Relay or a bad ETS relay, or the relay has corrosion on its connectors.

could be a bad battery -- so not enough power for anything to work

ETS light is electronic throttle system.

before you start the car put your foot on the brake pedal then turn the key to on if no srs abs lights up --its the brake light switch :)

your brake fluid tank reserve is low add some fluid to max level and check for any leaks hope this helps.

My Benz did the same and the cruise control would cut after a short period of time. If this is also happening to you,you need a Brake safety switch replaced.This is located behind you brake pedal.Go by a local Mercedes mechanic they should have one it's a common problem. You can put it on your self if you can screw in a light bulb! The warning lights will reset after a few engine starts.

yes, if you get it plugged it it might just need a reset if not at least you know what it needs.

Have your brake pads and rotors checked if you have worn pads this will activate the ABS Antilock Braking System light. The ETS Electronic Traction System uses this ABS to prevent skidding if the tires should lose traction.

Hi,

To my understanding:
BAS ESP - Electronic Stability Program (keeps you moving in the direction you intended the vehicle to go); probably a faulty brake switch or a bad brake sensor. You may want to reference this forum for additional insights;
ETS - Electronic Traction System (keeps you moving); would require an appropriate code reader to diagnose and pinpoint problem.Surprisingly, there has been some reports of defective brake pedal switch that activates this warning. You may lilkewise want to reference this forum for additional insights.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
