ESP Long Press
 

Not sure why I did but I did and this where I'm at.

I turned my ESP off, pressed the button for about 10 seconds and the light went off.

That was 2 days ago and I've not driven a car since.
Drove it today and pressed the ESP button to see if the light would came on and it did not.

I have no ESP light on my dash.


What did I just do?
What does this mean? :Confused:

Pretty sure it should reset when you restart the car.. Try holding it in for 10 seconds again.

Done that nothing.

Can you turn ESP off with you got brake pad warning on?

Look at ABS on VCDS, maybe it says : ESP button stuck - and you can clear the fault codes.

Is it the brake pad warning, or brake system warning?

brake pad warning.
I got a dodgy sensor somewhere.
Looking at that this afternoon.
The pads have less than 10% ware on them, so I know its not them.

The light is back.
WooHoo.

Took a couple of days and hours driving but it's back.

WooHoo

Hi Scott
Glad it's all sorted now
I also can't stop my self from asking why holding the ESP button for so long??

A single, quick press deactivates the ESP. A 5 second press and hold deactivates the ESP and the ASR (traction control). I have done it a few times, but never had any issues with it coming back on. They recommend turning all those gizmos off when you want a screaming take-off from a standing start. Didn't appear to make much difference to me though.

Cheers Lee, good to know +++
