Complaint/Problem Possible cause Test step/Remedy 1)
ESP warning lamp (A1e41) illuminates when ignition switch
is turned ON.
ESP OFF switch (S76/6) has been turned to: ESP OFF position. Turn ESP OFF switch (S76/6)
back to position: ON
ESP warning lamp (A1e41) blinks briefly while driving. ESP action has taken place in order to stabilize vehicle (no DTC stored).
Check implausibility of VSS
Read out DTC's for ESP control module using HHT,
See 12
BAS/ESP MIL (A1e47) and/or ETS MIL (A1e35) and/or
ABS MIL (A1e17) illuminates while driving and then goes out.
Vehicle system voltage < 11 V, too many electrical consumers in use, or Steering angle sensor (N49) was temperarily not initialized. Check generator (G2),

ABS MIL (A1e17) and ETS MIL (A1e35) and BAS/ESP MIL (A1e47) illuminate with engine running after brake test or dynamometer use. Nonplausible rpm signal due to different rpm at front and rear axles. Read out DTC's for ESP control module, erase DTC's using HHT.
See 12
BAS/ESP MIL (A1e47) or ETS MIL (A1e35)or ABS MIL (A1e17) or Low brake fluid level/parking brake/brake-force proportioning indicator lamp (A1e17) do not illuminate with ignition switch turned: ON Indicator lamps,
Instrument cluster (A1)

With CAN communication interruptions between the instrument cluster (A1) and the ESP/BAS control module (N47-5A), the BAS/ESP MIL (A1e47) will be illuminated.
