I am posting this info to help people understand the braking and traction systems that they MAY have on their Sprinter (not every NAFTA Sprinter has ESP or ASR). This thread was prompted by the Yahoo Sprintervan post below. I will not take the time to post pictures in the Yahoo forum because they will become lost.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) aka CAB (Controller Anti-lock Brake) aka HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit) module descriptions all refer to the same Sprinter brake control module.
Edit: The ESP and other safety systemsare should be standard for NAS aka NAFTA Sprinters from 2004 Model Year and up. I believe that the Trailer Stability Program (or whatever they call it) which includes whether a trailer is involved or not for skid response is available on NAS Sprinters from 2010 MY on.

"I may have a similar problem---ABS light staying on plus
the far right tracking(?) light. Scangauge reports zilch.
I have not checked wiring or fuses but would like to know where this ABS module
is---and maybe start a visual inspect. So far no-one has said what this
so-called tracking light is for, and it is undocumented far as I know. Any
help here from anyone apprec'd.

FWIW - It is not a "tracking" light. Most people refer to it as the "traction" light for that indicator.
