Comes on if there is an ESP system malfunction.

Comes on if there is an ABS system malfunction because ESP and ABS work together.

Comes on when ESP is switched off.

Comes on during sensor programming if:

The battery was disconnected and connected.

Vehicle was started with jump start.

The battery is too weak.

After the sensor programming procedure, the light goes out after driving a short distance.
