The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) light turns on in a 2010 Journey when the system detects a fault or error with the vehicle's stability control system. This can be caused by a variety of issues, such as a faulty wheel speed sensor, a malfunctioning steering angle sensor, a problem with the ABS system, or issues with the traction control system. In some cases, a low battery voltage or a loose connection can also trigger the ESP light to turn on. It is recommended to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional mechanic to identify the specific cause of the issue and perform the necessary repairs.

SOURCE: esp light comes on after long journey

Hi there:
The "ESP" system helps correct oversteer and understeer by breaking the inner or outer wheel as needed to get the car back on a straight path. When the light flashes the "ESP" system has detected this condition and has momentarily engaged.


The fault can range anywhere basically from simply a failed brake lamp switch to anything like a failed wheel speed sensor,or brake pressure sensor etc. Check first to make sure you didnt accidently push the ESP on/off button on your dash which would cause this light to come on also. If thats not the case then you will have to have the code or codes read in your ESP control module (computer) to see what code or codes are set to be able to diagnose from here.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.


Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

SOURCE: Have no power when I turn ignition on. However lights turn on an interior lights work. 2010 journey

The lights are on a different B+ circuit , ignition may turn on a relay like so many newer vehicles today . The ignition switch could be an input to the BCM - body control module ,which then the BCM energizes a relay turning on power to certain systems on the vehicle . You can check out wiring diagrams here http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html free wiring diagrams ! I'm looking at a power distribution diagram an it shows run relay an a run ACC relay .This are none replaceable , built into circuit board it says . There is another one run start relay . These dodge vehicles have what is called a TIPM - totally integrated power module . It's a fuse / relay center with a microprocessor built in . This is under the hood in engine compartment > I know they have had problems with this ! But all so have see bad grounds under or near these , if the Battery is there too .

ME ESP LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON ON MY 2010 DODGE JOURNEY. WHAT SHOULD I DO

If the roads have been slippery, then this is normal. If not, you should take your vehicle to a mechanic. It may be a error, and easily fixable, but it also may be something wrong with your stability control, or even something else that works with the ESP, like anti lock brakes. Better to be safe, and get it checked out.

My dodge journey esp bas light turns on , what does it mean ?

This is an ESP / BAS Trouble Indicator symbol, meaning Electronic Stability Program and Brake Assist System ().These systems work together, and a fault in either or both will cause the light to come on. Have it checked out just go to your local auto supply store like Auto Zone are Advance auto they have a hand held devise that can check it out at no cost. :-)

What causes brakes to 'stick' when pedal tapped?

the ABS does not cause the brakes to stick, they cause them not to stick so I would have to agree with them on that. Did you ever drive another journey to see if that vehicle had a similar feel to the brakes. It might just be the way the vehicles are?

If the ESP and ABS lights are on than there is likely a problem with the ABS system. The only way to find out what is going on is to scan the ABS system for codes and work from there. Any reputable shop will be able to do this.

Bas esp light come on 2010 dodge journey

Your Bas & Esp Light is on due to a failing or already failed Bas sensor & Esp Sensor, You can either do it yourself which can be very tricky if you are not confident with automobile repairs. The dealer should be able to do this at a reasonable price as it should take around an hour to do the repairs. If the problem keeps arising there could be a problem elsewhere that is connected to the same area & is shorting out.

I hope this helps.
