I think my car is permanently stuck in Dyno mode.

Every since I had my car dyno'd my ESP doesn't work. The only time the ESP works is if I don't step on the brake. One the brake pedal is pressed the lights come on. When I start the car the BAS and ESP lights come up. My car will also shift into Drive without your foot on the brake pedal. Is there a way to reset this. I have already replaced my BRAKE Switch under the pedal. It did not help.
Thank you

How did you get your car into dyno mode? Did you just pull the ESP fuse?

The car was dyno'd by Powerchip but they have looked at it twice and have had no luck repairing it. I'm not sure what they did to to put it in dyno mode. The ESP triangle will light up as long as I don't step on the brake pedal.

You can probably get it scanned for free at a "cheap auto". That might tell you everything by itself.

My car did 310whp and 324wtq. I was around 285whp before the lightened pullys and Powerchip.

Try disconnecting the battery. Check the fuses for BAS/ESP.

Are those fuses under the rear seat or the hood? How long should I disconnect the batter for?

Then it is your legal right to leave the car with them for them to fix it (at their expense) and it is their obligation to give you a loaner car of equal value (at their expense) until the problem is fixed.

You most likely paid them to work on your car so you should not bear the expense and headache of having and fixing a car that has a malfunction.

Do not entertain any "coincidental" excuses.

that is too funny you uesd the word "coincidental" that was Powerchip word after they looked at the car twice. I guess I will take it to the dealer this week and pass the buck to them.
