What Does The ESP Warning Light Mean?

This warning light will usually look like the image of a car swerving, and is fairly modern in modern cars. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Programme, and is designed to improve car stability when driving on problematic surfaces. This light may turn on when driving in adverse conditions. If the warning light is flashing, that means the ESP traction control is working, and you will feel more grip within your wheels. This may also occur when driving on good tarmac, which may mean that your wheel sensors need replacing. If the light is on but not flashing, this means that a fault has occurred in your ESP traction system.

What Does the ESP System Do?

The ESP is an essential system, as it ensures lateral dynamics and stable driving in all directions. This prevents skidding and ensures your steering is as accurate as possible in adverse driving conditions. The ESP also tells your engine to reduce power if you are steering vigorously, which then affects the power that is being supplied to individual wheels. As you can imagine, the failure of this system can be very dangerous when driving in bad conditions, and can cause severe accidents. Occasionally, this error will also be picked up by your brakes, and the ABS warning light will also appear.

What To Do If You See This Light

It is extremely dangerous to drive a car while the ESP traction control warning light is visible on the dashboard, regardless of whether you expect to drive on unstable surfaces or not. The ESP traction control system was developed and introduced into the market by Bosch.
