ESP ON/OFF switch

ESP ON/OFF switch



ESP can be turned ON/OFF with a spring-loaded switch on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. Both ESP and TCS are deactivated with this switch. When ESP is disengaged, the ESP OFF lamp is turned on via a bus messages to the main instrument unit.

This switch can be used to deactivate ESP at speeds below 60 km/h (37.5 mph) or to activate ESP at any speed. ESP/TCS is always engaged when the ignition is turned ON.

During braking the ESP system will operate irrespective of whether or not it has been turned off. This means that should the control module determine that conditions for ESP regulation are fulfilled and the driver brakes, braking will be regulated by the control module.

The switch is connected to pin 31 of the ESP control module and grounding point G41S. The ESP control module supplies B+ on pin 31. When the button is pressed, the circuit is closed to ground and the ESP function is engaged or disengaged depending on its previous mode.
