Any code or issue with the traction system will cause all of those problems.

Have the traction system scanned by MB shop with MB scanner.

ETS traction code C1210 = issue with brake fluid level switch.
ETS traction code C1000 = traction system computer failure.

Most likely your problem.

Is there anyway to check these things?

If you erase those codes & then drive, do the codes come back?

If so only wiring or a defective part can cause those codes.

Nope, requires a MB scanner.

No, those codes are only from the traction system computer.
