The ESP warning light can indicate that the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is active, turned off, or there is a malfunction. If the warning light flashes, the system is active, but the ESP system is probably not working if the warning light is constantly lit.

ESP is an important element in modern car technology, and its failure should not be ignored. This article will briefly examine how the ESP system works and what it means when the ESP warning light is on or flashes.

The Electronic Stability Program, or ESP in short, refers to an electronic stabilization system that aims to increase driving safety. It is one of the first and, at the same time, the most widely used electronic stabilization systems.

This system continuously monitors a car's movements and can detect loss of traction or unwanted change in direction. If such an event occurs, ESP automatically intervenes and stabilizes the vehicle through controlled interventions on the brakes, steering, engine, and gearbox.
