With the traction control switched off do you get the same resultant warning lights?
You need to use a scan tool that can get into mercedes specific codes; a generic OBD II scan will not get you where you need to go.
the first time it happened traction control was off. The 2 times since have been with it on. I’m assuming the codes would be stored though since the car will only go about 20mph once the light is on. It would be tough to make it happen and then drive it somewhere like that since I don’t have a code reader at home
