ESP warning on and off

I've been getting that ESP warning light coming and going. Its very noticable when it happens. While driving, the car will jerk, as if I ran over something, and make a bit of a scraping noise, and then the ESP warning will be on. It goes off again after a while, but then the cycle repeats itself. Anyone know what could be going on? Thanks.

Ok, Found out that it might be caused by the speed sensor. Does anyone know what that would take to check and replace? How much should that cost me? Thanks.

It can be the ESP/ABS module below the hood.. No-one here is magician... So your best option is to find local dealer or idk how you call them to preform diagnostic (STAR Diagnostic), and hopefully it will help you a lot with your problem.. It could be so many things... Instead of going thru the web spend some $$ for diagnostic.

Don't expect much help on these forums for electrical problems other than "take it to the shop". You'll find hundreds of threads of people asking for help, then never bothering to note what the problem was when it was presumably fixed. I think the complexity of these cars we'll outstrips the typical home mechanic's tools.
