It can happen to anyone, you’re driving in Blue Ash in difficult road conditions and a light comes on on your Mercedes-Benz dashboard that says “ESP®,” or Electronic Stability Program. When your car needs to be stabilized while cornering, oversteering, understeering, or slipping, this program activates by using several sensors. When activated, the ESP® light comes on. Learn more about how the ESP® lights in Mercedes-Benz work, and how to reset them from the Mercedes-Benz service experts at Mercedes-Benz of Cincinnati.
The way the ESP® works in your Mercedes-Benz is fairly easy to understand. Essentially the ESP® works by using ABS sensors to monitor the rotation speed of each wheel. When a particular wheel rotates at a faster speed compared to the other wheels, this means that there can be a problem. The wheel could be slipping, or there could be another issue. The ESP® then applies the brakes to the wheel that is spinning more quickly to slow it, stabilizing the car while you drive around Montgomery.
