- c - ASR/ESP system was switched off by ASR/ESP button

If ASR/ESP indicator lamp (K155) flashes while driving, the ASR or ESP systems are regulating the system.

• If the ASR/ESP indicator lamp - 1 - did not light up during self-test, the following malfunction is present:

- a - The ASR/ESP indicator lamp is faulty => perform an electrical test.
