What is the reason why the anti-skid light stays on and cannot be turned off?

When the anti-skid light is on, it indicates that the ESP system is turned off or has malfunctioned. The reasons for the anti-skid system light to illuminate are as follows: 1. Accidentally pressing the ESP system's off button; 2. Loose or faulty sensor connectors; 3. Short circuit in the wiring or related fuse blown; 5. Software issues causing poor signal transmission; 6. ABS pump failure. Methods to turn off the anti-skid light: 1. Restart the engine and briefly press the ESP-OFF button on the vehicle to check if the anti-skid light was accidentally turned off; 2. Take the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection, use a specialized fault diagnostic tool to locate the issue, and after repair, use a decoder to clear the fault code. Once the ESP system is confirmed to be working normally, the anti-skid light will turn off.

Oh, speaking of the anti-skid light staying on and not turning off, I've encountered this several times before. The most common issue is a problem with the sensors. The car's ESP system (Electronic Stability Program) mainly relies on sensors on the wheels to monitor wheel speed and road conditions. If they get clogged with mud or dirt, it can trigger false alarms, causing the light to stay on. Last time I drove in snowy terrain, the wheels were covered in sludge, and the light came on and wouldn't turn off—no matter how many times I restarted the car. In the end, I had to clean the wheel speed sensors myself to fix it. Another possibility is a faulty steering angle sensor; if the steering feels off when turning, the light may stay on as a safety warning. If all else fails, don't push your luck—driving on slippery roads without this system increases the risk of skidding or losing control. It's better to visit a professional repair shop for a check-up. Spending a little money ensures safer driving.

As someone who frequently drives long distances, I've found there are quite a few reasons why the anti-skid warning light stays on and can't be turned off. First, the wheel speed sensor may not be working properly, possibly due to aging or moisture intrusion, which triggers the computer to illuminate the warning light while driving. Second, there could be system software issues, with some vehicle models experiencing errors after software updates. Third, other related components like the ABS pump or control module might have short circuits. All these can cause the safety system to malfunction, which is particularly dangerous when driving at high speeds in rainy conditions. I've had personal experience with this: when the light was on, the emergency braking response became slower, nearly causing an accident. My advice is to first check the manual for confirmation, then inspect the fuses, and if that doesn't work, take the car for professional repair. Don't overlook this issue - safety is more important than repair costs.

The non-extinguishing anti-skid light is often a sign of a vehicle stability system malfunction. It involves multiple sensors, such as wheel speed or steering angle sensors, and any one of them failing will cause the light to stay on and cannot be manually turned off. Common causes include sensor dust accumulation, damage, or circuit breaks. Additionally, if the system activates in rainy conditions but the light remains on, it indicates a hardware issue. If the light stays on while driving, it means the safety protection is weakened, making the vehicle prone to skidding on slippery roads. It is crucial to identify the source of the problem as soon as possible and not delay, ensuring the safety of your family is the top priority.

I think the anti-skid light won't turn off probably because the wheel sensor is broken. The ESP system relies on it to detect data, and when it fails, the light stays on constantly, and the button doesn't respond. Check the cleanliness of the wheel speed sensor and try cleaning it if there's too much dirt. If that doesn't work, it might be a control module failure or related to abnormal tire wear. Driving at night or in rain/snow is particularly dangerous, as system failure can easily lead to rollovers. A friend of mine had an accident because of this, so I suggest addressing it promptly and not compromising safety to save money.
