ESP Visit Workshop Displayed In Instrument Cluster

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of "ESP - Visit Workshop" being displayed in the instrument cluster, and for vehicles with an automatic transmission the selector lever cannot be removed from position "P" after the engine is started, and various fault codes are stored in the relevant control units, perform the following repair.

Note:
In vehicles equipped with tire pressure loss warning system this function will also not be available.





The conditions listed above are caused by an inadequate ground connection at the ESP (W70) ground point (Figure 1, arrow) due to the heat shrinkable tube protruding under the ground cable lug's attachment point.





1. Remove the excess length of the heat-shrinkable tube on the ground cable lug so that a complete ground connection can be established (Figure 2).

Note:
Do not damage the coating on the ground cable lug. Additionally, ensure that the heat-shrinkable tube is only removed in the area of the screw attachment point.

2. Tighten the nut on the ground bolt (W70) to 8 Nm.
