The "ESP" system helps correct oversteer and understeer by breaking the inner or outer wheel as needed to get the car back on a straight path. When the light flashes the "ESP" system has detected this condition and has momentarily engaged.
Why is my 97 mercedes e420 abs and esp warning light on?
Probably the speed wheel sensor needs to be reset
the esp is allways on u can turn it off by pressing the button esp if theres no button its in the cluster setting check the manual on how to reset the service light its in the same menu
Check your abs sensors on each wheel, if they are covered in mud and crud it stops the signal and hence ESP warning.
esp is the traction system esp stands for E electronic S stabaility P program
it means the esp ets is in use so change driving style
electronic stability control
:THE BENZ GUY: not sure what ur question is if u have a esp fault the orange triangle will light up in the dash and u will get a message esp defective visit workshop esp is the traction systym e=electronic s= stabailty p= program get me more info...thanks
ESP stands for electronic skid protection. This is also run by the ABS computer. The light comes on when the anti skid system is active(when you are sliding), or when the system detects an electrical malfunction.
If you have a 1997 Mercedes Benz e420 but you are unable to turn off the esp button, it could be having a transmission fluid problem.
The ESP malfunction, on a Mercedes Benz E3 50, can only be fixed by changing the computer motherboard. The computer motherboard should only be changed by a certified mechanic.
That light comes on when the abs computer detects a malfunction and sets a code. You need to have the system tested with a scan tool.
