EN: Having fun and testing the Suzuki Grand Vitara ESP control on a beach near Arroyo, Puerto Rico. When ...

esp can come on , just driving wildly or any tire slip.
the ESP uses brake and throttle and trans controls to limit slips.
that overheating statement is false. pure conjecture.
serpentine belt, why that?
why not use a real FSM book
and a real scan tool, and not work blind, the oper. guide is useless.
"says get it serviced, all other words, not driving badly are useless"
the 20mph is limphome mode. and is serious issue that.

the fsm is here, read that. first , then scan it.

just 4 bucks

now read this carefully the 3 ways it works.
Throttle, brakes or transmission.
http://www.suzuguide.com/suzuki-447.html

if any of the 3 things fail, ESP will be upset,
ESP is last. dead last in the chain of logic.
all most work correctly first.
one thing this is comon failure is DTC for the throttle by wire
if it fails ESP will fail. how can it work with bad precursor systems?
even bad brakes, @!!!!!

why not scan it. all scan tools new can scan suzuki codes
for newer PCM.s
my innova. 3160 does.

truth
you can not fix these cars with out a scan tool.
period. sorry. but that is a fact.
in fact , i usually must drive , scan and log to find most errors.
cant do that at autozoned, not ever.

Can't tell you the problem

As with ALL vehicle problems, you have to check
for fault codes,diagnose those codes,go to trouble
charts,then component test,to see if you even have
a failed part

I thought that was well known fact for the last 30 years,
when it comes to cars,nothing new there,can't guess at
the unknown

Always need the car to test

the operator guide, is clear. ESP
Electronic stability control
the book says, take it in, get it checked,
or if big time DIY, read the FSM, buy one, read it.

no.
not really. ESP uses many parts of car to control stabliity.
can be many many things.
brakes,, throttle controls, transmission? (are are used to control skids)

Yes it is ok to drive but you have no stability control system at this time. This can cause a roll over if you are placed in a sticky situation.

Hi.
If the ESP light is on/active this is an indication that the control box for the ESP is defective - replacement is needed.
Be prepared - it is expensive.
Regards

The pictogram is an indicator that the ESP system is defective.

this solution is not specific, but their is at least 1 manufacturr recall to correct the wiring for the ESP.
also their is some Firmware upgrade available for the engine computer at your Suzuki Dealer.
Finally my Dealler corrected a problem with an underneat wire connector hos strated to corrode. I had exactlythe same symptom described along with occasinnal errtic hidle engine speed.
