ESP Inoperative
Upon leaving my house today, the ESP Inoperative light came on 
. Also causing CC to be in-operational as well. The tire pressure warning came on earlier in the day.
Can the Tire Pressure trigger the ESP inop?
What is usually the issue when the ESP inop indicator illuminates?

Few things that I can think off:
1. Your battery is already reach the end of it's life ($100 fix)
2. You have a flat tire (that triggers the ESP, ABS, CC and TC not to operate)
3. If you have a flat tire means either you have a leak or nail which can be a $60 for a patch, $35 valve stem if it has a leak there, $350 for a non repairable tire (make that x2 if your tires are a little worn out too much) $750+ if your rims are cracked
4. Your speed sensor on that wheel has a problem which can be a $500 repair from a dealership
I had the same thing happened to me a few times and it was a nail that was the culprit and the second time was the speed sensor which was covered by the warranty.
