What does the Volkswagen ESP malfunction mean?
1 Answers
Fault ESP is a traction control system. Here are the specific details: 1. ESP light: When the ESP light on the dashboard comes on, it indicates that the vehicle stability system may have a malfunction and should be sent to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible. Since ESP is not an independent system, it generally shares sensors with other electronic devices such as ABS and TCS. The illumination of the ESP fault light may also be caused by damage to other functions. 2. ESP composition: ESP consists of three major parts: sensors, actuators, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The sensors generally include wheel speed sensors, steering wheel angle sensors, lateral acceleration sensors, yaw rate sensors, and brake master cylinder pressure sensors. The actuators generally include traditional braking systems and hydraulic regulators. The electronic control unit interacts with the engine management system and can intervene and adjust the engine power output.
