How to eliminate the skid light on the Sagitar?
2 Answers
Here are the methods to cancel the anti-skid light on the Sagitar: 1. Restart the engine and briefly press the ESP OFF button on the vehicle to check if the ESP was accidentally turned off. 2. Take the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection, use a specialized fault diagnostic tool to locate the issue, and after repair, use a decoder to clear the fault code. Ensure the ESP is functioning properly, and the fault light will then turn off. 3. During daily driving, it is best to keep the ESP function activated, especially when driving on slippery roads such as those covered with ice and snow. The ESP system can activate the traction control system to restore stability to a vehicle on the verge of losing control, thereby preventing accidents.
I also encountered the issue of the skid light illuminating when driving my Sagitar. Actually, this is the warning light for the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), indicating the car may be at risk of skidding. The most common causes are a wheel sensor being blocked by mud or snow, or uneven tire pressure. I usually start with simple checks: first, park the car safely and turn it off, wait a few minutes, then restart. If the light goes off, it's fine; if it stays on, refer to the vehicle manual to locate the reset button—sometimes found under the steering wheel, holding it for a few seconds can reset the system. Additionally, check if the tire pressure and wear are consistent, otherwise the system may misjudge skidding. If the light remains after these steps, it's likely a faulty sensor or system malfunction, requiring a diagnostic scan for error codes. Last time I took it to the dealership, the technician replaced a sensor and fixed it, also recommending regular cleaning of dust around the wheel hubs. Safety first—don't force driving to avoid accidents on slippery roads. Normally, avoid sharp turns to reduce system intervention and minimize light activation.
