I finally got my E500 to a shop to get the codes read to try to figure out why the ASR light goes on periodically, pushing the car into LH mode. The shop said that it is because the wiring harness is badly deteriorated. He doesn't think that the codes he got: Crankshaft Position Sensor and CAN Databus are accurate, but caused by the harness shorting.

Does anybody know if that makes sense?
