automotive auto safety technologiesWhat does ESP light mean on Mercedes Sprinter?
ESP stand for Electronic Stability Program, at least in the Mercedes-Benz dictionary. It uses input from several sensor to help stabilize the car during cornering, over steering, under steering or slipping. That name kind of gives you a hint, but you are still wondering what that means or how does it work.
In respect to this, what causes the ESP light to come on?
Check the brakes and the wheel speed sensors to see if the are damaged or worn causing the ESP light to come on. A worn brake pad can cause the ESP light to come on as the wheel Hi. The light came on for the wheel is spinning on a different path than the reluctor ring can pick up on the wheel speed sensor.
Similarly, you may ask, how do I fix the ESP light on my Mercedes?
First, try to press the ESP switch, hold it down for three seconds and check if the ESP light on the instrument cluster turns off. If pressing the ESP switch does not turn off the light, or if the ESP light is flashing, it means there is a problem with the ESP system on your Mercedes-Benz.
