Agreed to all. An aging V12 Benz is not for the faint of heart or wallet. That said, under/overvoltage conditions can certainly cause an ASR light. Finding a shop to read codes is step 1; after that, it's an exercise in logic and going from smallest/cheapest components first, unless the codes give a plain answer.
