When you say the ABS ESP light came on you mean the one with the skidding car symbol? Did it just come on for short times i.e. flash or is it on permanently?

If it just flashed on and off then that would be normal for driving in snow as it simply shows that the TC/ESP has been activated. If it's on permanently when driving then it either means there is a fault in the system or it's been switched off. Do you have the TC switch on your car and have you used it to turn the TC/ESP off?

Is it snowing in London?!!

It's perfectly normal for the ABS and TC lights to come on when the systems are operating.

No I Dont Have An Tc Switch , And Its Stay Permanently ON Wile Driving ABS And ESP lights ...!!!!

[Duncan]

In that case you need to get it looked at as that's indicating that there is a problem with it.

yes it has a strange noise in a left side before lights turned ON .... !!!! ok mate thnx for a help cheers

[rioni]

and sorrymate's its not ESP but TC (Traction Control) and ABS light,wrote ESP sorry .....

[Duncan]

Yep, so it'll mean that it's the TC that has an issue then and needs to be looked at.

I wonder if the snow has " shorted" the ABS out and is giving a false mesage, and perhaps when it dries out it will be ok again??
