How to Turn On the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)?

[DeLevi]

The method to activate the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is: Locate the physical ESP button on the vehicle and press it until the indicator light illuminates. Typically, the ESP system is enabled by default in most vehicles and does not require manual activation. The Electronic Stability Program is an advanced extension of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS) functionalities. During driving, the steering angle sensor detects the driver's intended turning direction and angle, while the wheel speed sensor monitors vehicle speed, throttle position, and torque. The brake sensor measures braking force, and the yaw rate sensor tracks the vehicle's tilt angle and roll rate. The ECU processes this data to calculate any discrepancy between safe driving parameters and the driver's input. Based on this analysis, it adjusts engine output and individual wheel braking force to correct oversteer or understeer situations, thereby preventing skidding, excessive steering, insufficient steering, or wheel lock-up to ensure driving safety.
