how to reset BAS/ASR warning light in clk230 '99?

the BAS/ASR (Brake Assist System/Acceleration Skid Control) warning light in my dashboard still lights up after i replaced the disk rotors and brake pads in my car. the dealer told me that it can be rest by their computer but i have to pay. i assume it's similar to the bmw where i simply short (connect) two pins from the computer-diagnostic socket with a paperclip and it resets the light (or service indicator).

does anyone know how to do this in my without me going to the dealer?

also, i was told that i need to replace the brakelight pedal switch as it is also connected to this warning indicator lamp. note that i don't think there's anyhthing wrong with my brakelight (they work) and definitely nothing wrong with my brakes as i already replaced what needs to be done; unless you know something that i should still fix. thanks for helping.

I have a 98 E300 DT. Several weeks ago the ASR/BAS indicator light came on, every once in a while. Now, it comes on everytime, right after I start the car and it remains on. Can you help me understand what this indicator is telling me?

Have you had a dead battery or charging problems recently?

Have you checked the brakelight switch?
When it sticks, it will cause these symptoms.

I will check the brake light switch.
How did you check yours?

Did you see if the brake lights worked ok or did you find the switch and work with it?

Is the brake light switch related to the emergency flasher switch?

Sometimes, when you release the brakes, the plunger in the switch does not return completely.
This could be the problem.
They are quite inexpensive and very easy to replace.
