The problem is that the esp light should stay on. But in my case it flashes and disappears immediately before even start the test.

FIXED

Ok. The problem was I did not put the car on flat ground ( check by putting gear to N release the barke, car should not move) . Our roads looks to be flat but really they are not. That why ESP light will flash and wont stay steady.

Thank you for the help.
