Post by dipped67 »

Howzit guys

I need some help on my esp light .. It doesn't want to go off or on ... I recently change my stock dv to forge and ever since my esp light stays on the dash ..when i start its off as i drive it comes back on..I put the my stock dv back still stays on.. Did some research about the maf sensor gone bad ,so I changed it and still does the same .. also my cold start stopped working

What does ESP have to do with a maf or dv?

I believe the ESP (traction control) gets its signals via the wheel speed sensors, sensing rotation differences of the wheels..?

I USED TO HAVE THAT ISSUE ...WHEN I CHANGED BRAKE PADS IT WENT AWAY BUT HONESTY I HAVE NO CLUE WHY.
MAYBE SOMETHING IS LOOSE THERE BUD .THE CABLE FOR THE BRAKE PAD SENOR WAS BROKEN OFF SO I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS THAT...
I KNOW THIS ISNT MUCH HELP BUT HOPEFULLY YOU CAN FIND THE ISSUE OH AND ANOTHER THING THAT MIGHT HAVE HELPED ,WHEN I WAS CHANGING PADS I NOTICED ALOT OF GREASE AND GUNK AROUND THERE AT THE BACK OF THE CALIPER SO I KIND OF CLEANED ALL THAT EXCESS **** AWAY . WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE THE LIGHT WAS OFF:)

ESP light on my 1.9TDi came on when the brake globes popped and went away after new globes so check that.

also check the brake light switch.
It is an ingenius solution to a problem that should have never existed in the 1st place...

As stated above all the possible culprits are:

Your MAF sensor
Your wheel speed sensor (either damaged or lose connection or dirty)
Brakes (Brake switch on the peddle or brake light bulbs in your rear lights)
