Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the en-
gine running. If the "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light
remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilo-
meters) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
• The "ESC Off Indicator Light" and the "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light"
come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it was
manually turned off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds and flash the ESC activation light
when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive
following the maneuver that caused the ESC activation.
