How to Turn Off the Continuously Illuminated Anti-Slip Light?
3 Answers
Methods to turn off the continuously illuminated anti-slip light include: 1. Take the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection and repair, using a specialized fault diagnostic tool to locate the issue. After repairs, use a decoder to clear the fault codes, ensuring the ESP operates normally, which will then turn off the fault light; 2. Restart the engine and briefly press the ESP OFF button on the vehicle to check if the ESP was accidentally turned off. During daily driving, it is advisable to keep the ESP function activated, especially when driving on slippery roads such as those covered in ice and snow. The ESP system can activate the anti-lock braking system and traction control system to restore stability to a vehicle on the verge of losing control, thereby preventing accidents.
It's not a good sign when the traction control light stays on, indicating an issue with the TCS system. Having driven many cars, I usually first check if the TCS switch was accidentally pressed—it's typically near the steering wheel—to see if it was turned off by mistake. If the light remains on with the switch engaged, the wheel sensors might be dirty. This often happens after rain or driving on muddy roads when dirt covers the sensor heads; simply cleaning the sensors on the inner side of the wheels may help. Sensor issues are the most common cause, but a blown fuse could also be the culprit—consult the manual to locate the fuse box and try replacing it. When this light is on, it means the traction control system is inactive, so avoid aggressive driving and slow down during turns to prevent skidding. If these basic steps don't resolve it, visit a repair shop immediately to scan for trouble codes with diagnostic tools—professional technicians can pinpoint the problem faster. Don’t delay, as driving in rainy conditions becomes risky. I once ignored it and nearly had an accident, so timely action is crucial.
The constant illumination of the anti-skid warning light must be taken seriously, as it alerts you to a failure in the anti-skid system, posing a high safety risk. Based on my driving experience, whenever this light comes on, I reduce speed and avoid sharp turns or slippery road conditions. Common causes include faulty wheel speed sensors or issues with the ABS module. You can try restarting the car—park, turn off the engine for a few minutes, then restart to see if the light goes off. If this doesn’t work, it might be an electronic fault or aging wiring—don’t attempt DIY fixes; head straight to a 4S shop. After repairs, the light should turn off automatically. Additionally, I recommend mentioning such issues during regular maintenance; cleaning the sensors can extend their lifespan. Delaying repairs can lead to higher costs and even damage other components, so I advise acting immediately. Safety first—don’t take risks on the road.
