Does your ESP light also come on with it?

1x and the others no light at all, its crazy im going to relace the speed sensors this weekend. just never heard of them engaging like that

If you have play in your steering or your steering wheel isn't centered it will cause the ESP.

Thanks hooked it up to my foxwell obi. the steering sensor showed it was not centered also a little play as well after upgrades. but it did engage 1x when it was totally stock. thanks for the tip

I had that happen due to flexing pulling wires off the axle, they were rubbing against the wheel and intermittently shorting and engaging the abs. Zip ties and electrical tape for the fix. Cheap and easy , I like those fixes….

Thanks for the response, ill have it apart this week end to replace all the sensors and since i have it apart going to upgrade the rotors and brakes with power stop truck&tow kit

I'm pretty sure you can scan for codes and it will tell you the problem area.

 

[Tracker1709]

Yea i did, it didn't throw any codes quite strange right.

Maybe it's a problem with the ESP, for me I hate it so i'm not fixing my ABS/ESP lights problem. Not sure if the ESP would have a problem if it would set off a code or not, they are tied in together.

Replacing the module is my last resort its, easy but they say u have to bring it to a dealer to flash it

Last I heard I think those Modules were close to $500 plus the flashing.
