The first cheap everybody fix is to disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes---then reconnect----do you still have the issue.


A more professional approach would be to find an indy with diagnostic tools that can read the BAS\ESP modules for faults---and repair---yep this cost money!!

Thx for info.I did disconnect the battery tried turning steers,and spun rear wheels, all to no avail.Guess next step is to drop a few $$ to dealer.I love the car so money isn't an issue, was hoping I wouldn't have to but oh well.
