mikebh8 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 It's an old post...but did you sort it out?The light is ESP, a wild guess, the wheel is off angle?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHammond01 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hi mikebh8. I have the same problem as above and reading your reply to the above gent, you mention the wheel is off angle. Please may I ask what you mean by this ?. Paul Nottingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebh8 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Hi, whenever parts are replaced the wheel alignment should be done, same as when work on the wheel itself is done needs balancing again.My guess is, by undoing bolts and nuts on the wheels support mechanism, it sets off by some degree the wheel, and the sensor will get the information that you drive on wet surfaces and skid off...as I said a wild guess but to me it make sense as I used to have it on few cars after work has been done on the supporting parts. Extra symptoms will be the tyre wearing on one side, and knocks on the brake pedal in some occasions made by the ABS system to help car "stay on track". An error fault would help identify more into dept. Hope it helps. Edited September 10, 2017 by mikebh8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebh8 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Mind that the off angle wheels won't come up on at diagnostics( as far as I know), but I learned the hard way, replacing the sensor, looking for a wire fault and eventually did the wheel alignment.. This was done to at least two cars that I owned in past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
