What does the ESP display mean on a Mercedes-Benz?
1 Answers
When the ESP light appears on a Mercedes-Benz, it may indicate a fault in the ABS pump or its power supply/grounding circuit, loose sensor connectors, a failed sensor, a blown fuse, blocked signal transmission, or a system false alarm. It is recommended that the owner promptly inspects and repairs the vehicle. ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is a type of active safety system in cars, which is an extension of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). When a car is braking and the tires are about to lock up, the ESP system applies mechanical intermittent braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control even during full braking. Mercedes-Benz SUV models include: Mercedes-Benz GLS, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the Mercedes-EQ electric series.
