I was driving today and the Esc Active came on twice. Scared the crap out of me. It's dry here. Anyone know what could cause this? BTW I hate the anti lock brakes on it.

 

Welcome to the site. I moved this post into its own thread so it will get more reads.

You stated that you don't like your antilock brakes. You should not feel anything with the antilock brakes unless your in a really hard stop or on ice.

Are you having a problems with the antilock brakes? If so that may be the problem with the ESC.

 

No my brakes are fine. I don't feel the anti lock unless it's snowing here or on ice. Which it's not today, so was very weird to have that happen. I'm just use to being able to brake myself. Not my car braking for me.

 

You may have a sensor starting to fail. Sadly you need to use a professional scan tool to read codes the abs/ESC system.

 

Ok thanks.

 

Welcome, check the harness connections at each hub, could be loose or broken .
