Re: BAS & ESP Light
This one could be a battery issue. Said you had it parked for two weeks. If MikeR's fix doesn't work then I'd check your battery and /or tire pressures. That has been a factor as well. The lock to lock turn of the sterring wheel fix may take a few minutes to reset things. Mine took a bit when I did it. If none of these things fixes it and your battery is good then it could be something called a Steering Angle Sensor. I had the same issue in our Mercedes and after a few trips back, that was replaced and no issue in the past two years.

Re: BAS & ESP Light
the reason you turn the wheel lock to lock and center is so the computer can measure the distance for the bas (brake assist system) esp (electronic stability program). when the battery is disconnected the puter must restablish the steering parameters.
it could be as simple as the brake light sensor under the brake pedal to a full abs failure to trip the light.
reset by turning lock to lock and have any codes read. then if no codes you should be fine

Re: BAS & ESP Light
I have the same thing going on, but my spoiler is also staying up and the light for it is blinking.
Can anyone who has had this light come on verify whether or not the TC would work when the light was on. I have been having the issue for about 2 weeks and my TC does not function and I can not lower my spoiler, any one have any other suggestions?? I have already left the negative disconnected, tire pressure is fine, battery is new and problem still persists.

BAS ESP Light - 2004 Crossfire
My BAS ESP Light would come on after startup only once the brake pedal was pushed.
I determined that the Stop Light Switch (Standard Motor Products # SLS392, $16.00) was faulty. There was a melted pit burned in the switch plastic sliding surface area that caused the circuit to light only momentarily and only at the beginning of the pedal push. Replaced the switch, all good to go.

Re: BAS & ESP Light
I've had a similar issue, the BAS/ESP light comes on after a few minutes of driving, which disables the traction control. I do the reset and it goes away for a few minutes, but will come back on again when I start to drive. Have checked the brake light switch and this seems to be fine. I think it is one of the wheel sensors or the steering angle sensor. The only fault code the car is showing is the P0410 - Secondary Air Injection - totally seperate issue. I don't have the issue with the spoiler being stuck as other member have reported.
