I knew the battery was old since I bought a 96 SL500 with 21,000 miles. I decided to get the battery checked and the crank voltage was low. I replaced the battery with an Auto Zone, reset the codes as described in the book and have not had a light come on since.
Low Voltage is common on both ASR and ABS lamp faults... see it on cars that sit for long periods with Alarm systems left ON ...battery drains after just a few weeks ...
