Why do the ABS and ESP lights come on together?
1 Answers
ABS and ESP lights coming on simultaneously is normal, as both indicators illuminate when the vehicle's stability system and anti-lock braking system are active. If the lights remain continuously illuminated without turning off, potential causes may include severe contamination of related sensors, damaged ABS sensors, or battery malfunctions. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, a technology designed to prevent loss of vehicle control while generally increasing braking distance to enhance safety. The automotive ESP system is a chassis braking technology developed based on the anti-lock control system, primarily composed of a control unit, steering sensor, wheel speed sensor, skid sensor, and lateral acceleration sensor.
