hello benz experts, i have a w140 s600, its has not encountered any major problems but until now when i went on vacation, for a month the car has not been used and when i turned on the ignition it wouldnt start so i replaced the battery coz it was really weak after charging for 24hrs it was still weak, now w/ a new battery the start up is better but still the ASR light came on, thecar can still run up to 160kph and more but the acceleration is really bad it would take me at leat 15 seconds to get to 60kph but after that everything is normal, the engine runs smooth and everythings is working, could it be that the asr relay need replacing or just a simple ressetting done at the mercs dealer? guys need your inputs thanks in advance

With any battery replacement the steering angle sensor needs re-initialization.

Turn steering wheel back & forth from lock to lock.
