ESP in the Heat
Hello all,
So I'm having a spot of bother with my ESP in the warmer weather. When the vehicle heats up inside, to say a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius or higher, the ESP and ABS lights go on, and the traction control doesn't work. However, if I park it in the shade, where it keeps cool, or in the cooler weather, this never happens, and the traction control works fine.
Additionally, if I'm driving around for a little while with the ESP acting up (tho there is no discernible difference in braking and stopping), and the air conditioning cools the interior down, if I switch the key on and off, the ESP and ABS lights will go out and I'll be able to switch it on and off again.
Has this ever happened to any of you before? Any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks for your time.
