What causes the Roewe anti-skid light to stay on?
2 Answers
The reasons why the Roewe anti-skid light stays on are: 1. Accidentally pressing the ESP off button; 2. Loose or faulty sensor connectors; 3. Short circuit in the wiring or related fuse blown; 4. Software issues causing poor signal transmission; 5. ABS pump failure. A yellow P light indicates that there is a fault stored in the parking brake or ABS system, requiring further inspection and confirmation. Additional information: 1. The P light in the combination instrument panel: Generally represents the vehicle's parking brake system, i.e., the handbrake system. When the P light in the combination instrument panel is on, it can appear in three colors. The meaning varies slightly depending on the vehicle brand and the color of the P light. 2. A red P light: Indicates that the parking brake system is engaged, meaning the handbrake is pulled tight. It is displayed in red in the combination instrument panel as a normal status, not a fault. If it lights up or flashes along with other fault lights, such as the ABS system light, it indicates a system fault. 3. A green or blue P light: Indicates that the automatic parking, i.e., the AUTO-HOLD system, is functioning properly. The P light will illuminate to alert the driver when the system is active.
My Roewe has been running for five or six years, and last month the anti-skid light also came on. The technical name for this thing is the ESC system indicator light, which is like an electronic bodyguard to prevent skidding during turns. If the light stays on, definitely don’t force it to drive. When I encountered it, I first checked the tires and found that the left front tire pressure was 0.5 lower than the other three. After topping up the air, the light went off. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to consider the sensors—the wheel speed sensor is the most prone to issues. Last time, it gave a false alarm after splashing mud in the rain. If all else fails, try rebooting the car’s system: turn off the engine, wait about ten minutes, and then restart. By the way, if you’ve modified the brakes or installed tires with mismatched sizes, that could also trigger it. It’s best to read the fault codes to pinpoint the problem.
