It is not recommended to continue driving if the ESP warning light is on, as it indicates a brake system malfunction. Continuing to drive poses safety risks. The causes for the ESP warning light being on may include ABS pump failure, ABS pump power or grounding circuit issues, loose sensor connectors, sensor failure, blown fuses, obstructed system signal transmission, or system false alarms. ESP is a component of the vehicle's active safety system, extending the functionality of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system (TCS). When the vehicle is braking and the tires are about to lock up, the ESP system employs mechanical intermittent braking to allow the driver to maintain steering control even during full braking.
