What was the problem with the ASR on my 1992 500SL?
I started having a problem with the ASR system on a 1992 500SL. I was driving on the highway when the ASR sensor light came on and the car defaulted to a “limp home mode”: The engine output power was reduced and I was able to make almost home; after stopping at a red light the battery light came on and the car completely stalled.
What causes the ASR light to come on on a Mercedes 500SL?
Everything pointed to the Electronic Accelerator Actuator (that checked out okay as well). After discussing the past few months with the car, we established that my problem was moisture in the R25 sensor (throttle positioning sensor) causing the ASR light to come on and the engine to go into the LH mode.

Is there a problem with the ASR on a Mercedes?
I guess that if you own a Mercedes, you will at some time get that problem! The ASR problem seems to occur in two distinct ways: It can occur while driving and gives the driver quite a start! The car goes into the LH mode (will be described later) and the accelerator pedal does not respond as before. It’s quite a ‘trip’ to drive the car.
