Default Re: Come on who can answer this puzzle re a BAS ESP light problem

I have done this previously when I triggered the wheel speed sensors when I was doing some work on the car, did that sequence and light hasn't been on since!
Thanks for the info, I did try this but it didn't seem to make any difference, maybe I was doing it wrong. Some say with the ignition key to run but don't start the engine. Has anyone ever tried this without the power steering on, nearly impossible to turn the steering wheel. so tried both with engine running and not (with a real struggle) and it didn't make any difference but still another day of motoring yesterday and light has stayed off. I would like to know the correct process to reset the sensors tho.
