ESP Performance
The stability control module has detected that overall ESP performance is degraded — typically a plausibility check between yaw rate, lateral acceleration, steering angle and wheel speeds has failed. ESP is deactivated until the root cause is resolved.
Affected components
- Esp control module
- Sensor cluster
- Yaw rate sensor
- Lateral acceleration sensor
Common causes
- High likelihood: Sensor calibration required after repair
- Medium likelihood: Sensor cluster loose or mounted incorrectly
- Low likelihood: Secondary fault on individual sensor
Possible symptoms
- ABS warning light on
- ESC/stability control deactivated
- Possible reduced brake assist
- Speedometer may behave erratically
