About ABS / ESP codes
Codes in this category relate to the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESP/ESC). These systems share wheel speed sensors, hydraulic modulators, and a common control module. Faults here usually disable ABS pulse braking and stability control assistance, but standard hydraulic brakes continue working normally.
