Have you done a diagnostics scan, this looks like some sort of sensor but without diagnostics can't tell much

I guess i will agree since I don't know the answer .

i think the only place is the dealer or you could try a lock smith some maybe able to help.

Can you call me, there is no charge. 925-577-7157

Hi, You will have to get under the car to look for it. It is on the right side (passenger side) on the transmission. You will have to jack your vehicle up on jack stands for safety or ramps. Good luck

It is Air Flow Sensor Problem, make it renew or make it clean the problem will be lost

Had same problem.
At the same time the cruise control aint working either ?
My solution, (how my problem was fixed was to change the
switch behind the break pedal, ie the switch which regulates yr
rear stoplights. In my case this switch was worn out and malfunctioned.
This is a 2min job, and part aint expensive.

1. You should access the Transmission Control Module (TCM) using suitable diagnostic equipment, (Mercedes-Benz STAR or similar), connected to the data link connector of the car, in order to pull out all DTC's memored. DTC = Diagnostic Trouble Code. Then you will bu full informed about the root cause of the problem, and you will be able to erase all faults memored and reset the TCM.
2. Before you can try to disconnect the battery from car terminals, wait for 5 minutes, and reconnect back the battery, in order to reset the TCM. If this procedure will not work, you should go to step 1.
