[kelvniii]

Hi folks, when I'm driving today the ESP light suddenly stay on and I cannot swith it off by pressing the button I tried to switch off the engine and on but it still stay on do u know what the problem is?

By the way I just changed the battery today and now running on a different size of spare tyre..
What is the problem there? Is it the tyre or the battery?

Thank you folks!!

.... not meaning to take the piss.... but you sure its the the tyre pressure indicator?

If you change wheels it will set that off.

Its not the tyre pressure indicator, is the ESP light indicator, it switch on by itself... But then when i drive it back home today, it back to naomal.... dunno why?!

That happened to mine when it was on the dyno once. I'm told the ESP light is on until is learns what having traction is like. So after the battery came out it was reset and had to learn again. Takes a few kms.

are you sure it's the ESP or is it the EPC light. my EPC light came on once and it was just my brake light was out...had a faulty brake light switch (common problem apparently).

if it is the ESP light, this happened to someone else recently, they found out that they didn't switch between APR programs properly and the system was struggling to register what was going on. he just had to redo the program switch procedure properly and it was sorted.

yes i guess you are right! the traction is different
cuz i'm now running a different size of spare tyre...
and it takes a few KMs to let her learn again!

This happened to mine on Saturday night and yesterday. I've changed my brake lights on Sat morning (both are working fine). I don't have a tune. Can anyone help?
