Can I still drive if the 'Please Service ESC' message appears?

If the 'Please Service ESC' message appears, you should not continue driving and instead take the vehicle to a 4S shop or repair facility to have the ESC system checked, as continuing to drive may pose a safety risk. ESC stands for Electronic Stability Control, and its components include: 1. Steering sensor; 2. Wheel speed sensor; 3. Yaw rate sensor; 4. Lateral acceleration sensor. The working principle of the Electronic Stability Control system is to monitor the vehicle's operating status through an electronic control unit and intervene in the engine and braking system. ESC is an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling the vehicle, and it is an extension of the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). The role of ESC is to control the vehicle's longitudinal and lateral stability to ensure stable driving.
