Cool Information about MERCEDES ABC SYSTEM
In the ABC system, a computer detects body movement from sensors located throughout the vehicle, and controls the action of the active suspension with the use of hydraulic servomechanisms. The hydraulic pressure to the servos is supplied by a high pressure radial piston hydraulic pump. A total of 13 sensors continually monitor body movement and vehicle level and supply the ABC controller with new data every ten milliseconds. Four level sensors, one at each wheel measure the ride level of the vehicle, three accelerometers measure the vertical body acceleration, one acceleration sensor measures the longitudinal and one sensor the transverse body acceleration. At each hydraulic cylinder, a pressure sensor monitors the hydraulic pressure. As the ABC controller receives and processes data, it operates four hydraulic servos, each mounted in series on a spring strut, beside each wheel. Almost instantaneously, the servo regulated suspension generates counter forces to body lean, dive and squat during various driving maneuvers. A suspension strut, consisting of a steel coil spring and a shock absorber are connected in parallel, as well as a hydraulically controlled adjusting cylinder, are located between the vehicle body and wheel. These components adjust the cylinder in the direction of the suspension strut, and change the suspension length. This creates a force which acts on the suspension and dampening of the vehicle in the frequency range up to five hertz.
The system also incorporates height-adjustable suspension, which in this case lowers the vehicle up to 11 mm (0.43 in) between the speeds of 60-160 km/h (37-99 mph) for better aerodynamics, fuel consumption, and handling.
The ABC system also allows self-leveling suspension, which raises or lowers the vehicle in response to changing load (i.e. the loading or unloading of passengers or cargo). Each vehicle equipped with ABC has an “ABC Sport” button that allows the driver to adjust the suspension range for different driving style preferences. This feature allows the driver to adjust the suspension to maintain a more level ride in more demanding driving conditions.
The Mercedes-Benz C112 of 1991, Mercedes-Benz Vario Research Car of 1995 and the Mercedes-Benz F200 of 1996 already featured prototype versions of ABC.
The first complete and ready-for-production version of ABC was introduced in 1999 on the top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
In 2010 a crosswind stabilization function was introduced. In strong gusts of crosswind, and depending on the direction and intensity of the wind having an effect on the vehicle, this system varies the wheel load distribution in such a way that the effects of winds are largely compensated or reduced to a minimum. For this purpose, the ABC control unit uses the yaw rate, lateral acceleration, steering angle and road speed sensors of the Electronic Stability Program ESP®.

This is the best video out there.
Forget the dealership. Forget giving them thousands of dollars.
Check the fluid and add as needed and you're good. Thanks. Great video.
Frank, thank you for the great feedback. My brother in law got a $6000 bill and I showed him to check his ABC system and 3 years later his mbz is still problems free.
This was very helpful thank you!
I'm so glad!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Well Done, thank you!
Thank you for the feedback
After you fill the ABC .. how long does it take for the car to adjust from low on to have fluid refilled to function
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Im looking for this answer today :-)

@timmzey_1985 just a few minutes if your abc pump is working. This is fluid so unlike air that needs to build up pressure. I left a diagram in the video description that explains the different components of the systems.
You should also check it after the engine has been off for at least 10 minutes, ideally much longer, using the other side of the dipstick. You will likely find the level is now considerably above the 'engine on' maximum. This is because one or many of the accumulaters (buffers) has blown it's diaphragm, which is why the level was showing so low in the first place.
sorry should have said 'engine off' maxium there.
First off, the light you're pointing at on the dash is not an indicator of low fluid. That is an indicator of what level you have selected for your suspension. Second, you don't use the same fluid in the power steering side of the pump as you do the suspension side. Two separate types of fluid. Too many people online doing guessing games when it comes to ABC systems.
The abc system runs the suspension on the S55 ( hydraulic no air ) and it’s is the same fluid!
Whenever you need to add ABC oil, that means your buffer tanks have gone old, cracked and started leaking (they are made from rubber).
läsin.se, Thanks for the great feedback and information. _Randomfix
Totally not true.
You must work at a Mercedes Dealership. Never believe not even one word from them.
where do u get your fluid from tired of having to buy from the stealership
Try Amazon or RockAuto. At the workshops we buy from worldpac
Do you have to check power steering fluid while car is running as well? and also if its below to you add while car is running?
Citizen of the universe, great question.
The dip stick has two sides, one side reads motor on ( in German) and the other sides reads motor off (in German) I checked the ABC fluid with motor ON. Please refer to the video again as my German is very rusty. Best of luck _Randomfix
yo bro im getting ABC drive carefully on my s600 its starting to also drop just lower on the driver side and the back sits up right any help?? just bought it yesterday
You have a leaking a shock on the driver side. Inspect the wheel area and see you can abc fluid.
RANDOMFIX yesterday i saw a puddle , i also keep losing brake fluid
Remove the wheel and inspect the brakes lines and the hydraulic shock. Don't wait,
Does s 2008 SL550 have a separate power steering pump fluid refill container or is it in 1?
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
i have no leaks car tends to lean toward the front right tire check fluids all good when putting the car in drive it will rise up an level off whats wrong give it a few hours it begin s to lean again
Jimi, if you have a hydraulic system in your benz then you should have a shop check the system pressure while the vehicle ABC system is doing a "RODEO". These ABC systems use the power steering tandem system. I had included a link to the BEST information troubleshooting guide for Mercedes ABC system I've ever found in the description of the video, but here it is drive.google.com/file/d/1FTt743wQp96uAaD_Zapx43qNq7GeViI2/view
for you review. Best of luck _ RandomFix
You have a bad sensor. It self levels when it's parked. Bad sensor makes one side go all the way down. Does nothing when driving just when you park it. Don't take it to Mercedes thou. They'll tell you $4000 and will ruin your car.
How do you drain it and put fresh? How often do you service it?
Speeddemon002, Most people only touch the ABC fluid when there is a problem. I recommend treating it transmission fluid 5 year or 60k miles. Also, there is a filter inside the reservoir make sure you change that as well. A lot easier to change the fluid. Use a vacuum pump ($100) to basically suck the old fluid out if you're like me and don't want to get your hands dirty. Best of luck. _RandomFix
There are youtube vids on how to flush. At least every 40k miles. You need to change the filter too. Amazon sells 20ltr's of Pentosin CHF-11S. With shipping and handling, comes out to $11.45 per ltr. Good for 2 flushes using 10ltrs per flush. The filter too...$36.
They (Mercedes) recommends every 40000 miles this way they won't can ruin your car.
I recommend checking the fluid level (chf 11s) and adding as needed. Then see if you ever have a problem. Guess what you won't.
Mercedes makes great cars.
The dealership mechanics ruin them that's their job. To keep sales up.
@@jgonzalesm6 No that's what Mercedes recommends.
Do you work for them?
Who says you have to flush the system? Mercedes dealerships only.
@@RANDOMFIX Very correct sir.
Does this use the same fluid as the power steering fluid?
Yes
Great content thanks for sharing! I have a 2005 SL500. How much of the CHF 11s do you use when flushing the system? 🙂
A lot, Last time I did a flush I had 3 bottles, it's been a while.
Hey there , Quick question , do the car gotta be on to check the suspension fluid ?
There are two side to dip stick, one is engine and the other is engine off. Both are in German so you google translate it for reference.
When you started playing music and adding more fuel was the car on or off? The music made it confusing
YoWhatDaFuxUp when I was adding more abc fluid the vehicle was on. The dipstick has two sides. I just the side that side that reads "motor aun " meaning motor on in English.
What if you got the Chf 11s power fluid instead of the one you got? My Benz is low so I was just wondering if I can use it
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Thank you good sir !
Robert T, Thank you for the positive feedback!! RandomFix
I have a SL63 2015 with a wurring noise from the passenger side (RH drive car) comes in every 6-7 seconds, no light on Dashboard. Mechanic is being vague. Says maybe the ABC unit or a solenoid near the unit. He cant look at it for 2 weeks as busy. Any ideas appreciat it.
Hi Mark Sorry for the late response, can you tell me more? Does this wurring noise only happen sometimes? Please provide more details. _Randomfix
Hurry up and take it back while its still under warranty. The dealership that serviced your car let the pump run dry. That's about a $5000 job.
Hope you got the warranty when you bought it. They're trying to rob you.
Hello how are u ..can i use the chf 11s power steering fluid for this? Thank u
I think we are talking about the same fluid.
@@RANDOMFIX see thats what i thought but the one im talking about is power steering fluid this one is with hydraulic...instead of the red "11s" the one i see is green "11s"...thank u for replying btw
Omg, good catch.
But this same fluid is in the power steering reservoir and is also used in AbC system like in the example of the 2003 s55 amg.
Thanks for your help; )
Didnot know if engine is on or off, hot or not, abc system lowered or up.
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
Dude you blew through explaining the dipstick and how to read it? 😂
Sorry for the late reply! did you find a solution?
S55 on idle sounds like an 80’s Diesel engine? You’ve got way bigger problems than just filling your ABC reservoir Sir..
Still on good, the s55 is running strong.
You are hearing the injectors, they are loud on our cars
