My 1989 560SEC Euro has an interesting problem.  At random intervals, anywhere from a cold start to 30 minutes driving time, the ABS light will come on and simultaneously the idle speed will increase to about 1400 rpm.  After another random period, anywhere from 10 seconds to 15 minutes, the high idle / ABS light issue will disappear.  It's a little disconcerting to think that the braking system is connected to the throttle ;-)

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks…..Barry

Sounds like your OVP relay is acting up.  I'd go ahead and replace it, just be sure to use a Genuine part (no KAE!!!!)
