2008 C-Max Esp Light On

[Martin Shepherd]

Hello,

I have a 2008 Ford C-Max 1.6 Zetec. It has done almost 40,000 miles and all of a sudden the ESP light on the dashboard has come on. I have looked in the manual to see what this means and it does not give much information. I have also attempted at putting the ESP on using the on board computer but it will not let me.

Can anyone please tell me what this is and what affect it has on the car? And also is it a simple job to fix?

Thanks,

Martin
