Feeling Unstable

[Johnsonsyard]

Hi Everyone, I find the mamual with my new Fiesta not very clear. Today went round a corner and the Stability Control Indicator came on and stayed on to my destination some 5 mins away. Upon starting it came on again and then went off 5 min later. The manual talks of malfunctions . As the reference to this warning light is only some 10 lines I am unsure whether there is a malfunction or not. Can someone please give me some guidance . I would be most grateful.

Thanks

Nick

This could be a malfunction. As far as I know the ESP light should come on for a second when you turn on the ignition, just like all the other lights. The only other time it should light up is when the system is activated, which should only be for a moment when you're going round a corner. If it stays on when you're just driving normally, that means something's wrong, or it's disabled.

I'd get it in to a dealer and tell them what's happening, they should be able to do a diagnostic, check for error codes etc.

Abs sensor ring failure? That would cause a esp failure light.
