If the power supply is interrupted (battery disconnected or discharged), the ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light may illuminate with the engine running. If this should occur, turn the steering wheel completely to the left and then to the right. The ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light should go out. However, if the light remains on, have the ESP and BAS checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The Malfunction Indicator Light for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator. The yellow ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light and the yellow ESP/TCS Indicator Light in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
