What does the ESC button in the car mean?
1 Answers
ESC button in the car stands for Electronic Stability Control, which is an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling the vehicle. It is a further extension of the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). The role of ESC is to control the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle to ensure stable driving. ESC consists of sensors, actuators, and an electronic control unit. A malfunction in any of these parts can cause the ESC warning light to illuminate. Solutions for when the ESC warning light comes on: 1. Restart the engine; 2. Press the ESC off button on the vehicle; 3. Restart the vehicle to determine if the warning light is caused by a false fault.
