What does ESC malfunction mean?
1 Answers
When a car indicates an ESC system malfunction, it means there is a fault in the Electronic Stability Control system, and the vehicle's electronic stability control is not functioning at that moment. The illumination of the ESC warning light is a relatively complex issue, usually caused by a software system alert or due to sensor failure or wiring short circuits. Diagnosing this problem can be quite troublesome, so it is best to promptly visit a 4S dealership for inspection and repair. How to resolve ESC system malfunction: Press the ESC OFF button located in the center of the dashboard to deactivate ESC. When the ESC function is deactivated (indicated by the ESC OFF light being on), pressing the ESC OFF button again will reactivate ESC. The ESC OFF light on the dashboard will turn off, and the ESC system will resume operation. Function of the ESC system: When the ESC system is activated to correct vehicle stability, it reduces speed, requiring extra attention to road conditions. The ESC system is only a supplementary vehicle system and cannot control the car when instability exceeds physical limits. Do not rely solely on the system; always drive safely. When ESC is active, you may hear some noise from the brake pedal or other related systems or feel slight vibrations, which are caused by pressure changes within those systems.
