Jun 12, 2019 at 0:56 comment added SteveRacer @Zaid From Wikipedia: "Electronic stability control (ESC), also referred to as electronic stability program (ESP) or dynamic stability control (DSC), is a computerized technology that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction (skidding)." Also keep in mind that Germans love to invent things, and it is always invented in Germany first. Even if they have to change the name slightly; to avoid confusion with that thing that already exists but actually doesn't because it hasn't yet been invented in Germany first . . .

Jun 10, 2019 at 15:46 comment added Cullub Welcome to Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair! What is and esc light? I'm from the US, so we might have different vocabularies. Are you talking about the Check Engine Light in the dash? Also, is the car driving strangely, or does it still work well?
