I own a Chrysler crossfire roadster 2005 in the UK. Here we have MOT’s each year, and this year my car failed its MOT because the esp light is on. We know why the light is on, its because I have standard tyre valves not the tyre pressure sensor monitoring ones. Now in order to pass the mot, the esp light cannot remain on and the car computer needs to be recoded to let the computer know not to read the tyres. I have spoken to one ex dealer, who said they could do this easily but they no longer have the chyrsler equipment to do this, and there is now only one dealer in the south east UK who I have now spoken to. First they said that the crossfire cannot be done, and then when I told them an ex dealer said they could do this easily they told me that some of the crossfire models can be done but it depends. This dealer is known to rip people off, and I am sure they will say that mine is the one that cannot be recoded. What I want to know from Chrysler is can this be done to turn the light off as the car computer thinks its unstable which it isn’t. If so, what are the steps that the UK dealer has to complete on the computer to get access to this section to switch off, so I can let them know what they need to do.
( the TPMS does NOT set a ESP or CEL ( Check Engine Light ), it only lights up the tire pressure light. )
If you have the ESP light on, look elsewhere.
Copied from the internet :
ESP stands for "Electronic Stability Program". If the ESP light on a Mercedes Benz stays on, try holding the ESP button down for a few seconds. If holding ESP down for a few seconds doesn't reset the program, it's time to head to your local Mercedes dealership for a repair. More likely than not, there is some sort of error with the steering mechanism which causes the ESP light to remain on. You don't have to be alarmed but it's best to get it checked out as soon as you're able to. Most Mercedes have a four year, fifty thousand mile warranty which is, literally, bumper to bumper except for maintenance service. But if the ESP light stays on, this will almost certainly be covered.
If your car goes into a spin and the ESP light does not come on, it's time to see that repair shop too. Your Mercedes electronic stability program is not working properly if the car does not take control when a spin is detected.

As noted above the tire pressure monitor is not connected to your problem.
Is the tire pressure light on?
Have you checked all the fuses? I am not sure if there is one on your car but there are two fuses for the ESP system on the SRT model.
Is the check engine light on?
Get the error codes read, there might even be one even if the CE light is not on.
Check these out first and then we can proceed from there.
The last think you want to do is go to a dealer and get robbed blind.
Does the cruise control work, if not it could be a wheel speed sensor.
