What does it mean when the car shows an ESP malfunction?
1 Answers
The reason why the car cannot start and shows an ESP malfunction is due to a fault in the vehicle's Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system. If the car's ESP system is malfunctioning, it is necessary to promptly visit a car 4S shop or a repair shop to have the ESP system inspected and repaired, which will resolve the issue of the car not starting. Below are detailed explanations about it: 1. Explanation one: If the ESP light comes on while driving, it is necessary to reduce the driving speed, avoid excessive steering and turning, and find a nearby 4S shop as soon as possible to check the cause. 2. Explanation two: When emergency avoidance is required, the ESP intervenes to increase the driving force of the drive wheels; when there is a tendency for the car to fishtail, the ESP will apply braking to the opposite wheel to reduce rotation, thereby helping the vehicle follow the driver's steering intentions.
