The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) light is on by default.
Check to make sure you did not accidentally hit the button yourself, but the esp on means that your traction control system is functioning properly, you can turn it off and run without it but there is no advantage except that it will be easier to get into a slide or if you want to do some tricky maneuvers.
If the light is a warning type and not just a notification it will mean that you have a fault in one of the systems involved in the traction control system like brakes, brake lights, speed sensors, etc.
Refer to your manual, but in most cases the traction light SHOULD be on all the time.
I used to get the same light frequently. What I do is, make the wheels in straight position, stop the car, stop the engine, remove the key and then start the engines again. this is it.
Mercury. Comment: You need ESP to answer questions like this. However, I think Venus is the most likely answer.
Why is my 97 mercedes e420 abs and esp warning light on?
No, when anything is slowing down it is decelerating.
poke the bulb out with an ice pick.
In most cases it means one of the wheel speed sensors has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
Stop spinning the wheels or get the tire speed sensor that is faulty replaced.
bas esp light
why wont my ABS light go out
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.
If the car detects a spin in the wheels or the danger of skidding in a turn, the ESP light will come on, verifying that the program is taking control of the car. If the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) light stays on you need to see the repair shop. You don't have to be alarmed but it is best to have it checked out soon.
whoever did not stop i guess. obviously there had to be a light or a stop sign and someone did not obey the stop sign or light. the first to stop at a 4 way stop has the right to go, if it is a light well someone blew the light.
