Default BAS ESP warning light

2005 X-Fire Convertible.
BAS ESP warning light....... (and the "car icon" in the speedometer) always ON.
I check the BAS ESP switch, it is in the proper position (even activeted it a few times, no change, light still ON).
Tried the "turn the wheels fully left & fully right & center".....light still on.
FYI, I did have a "Float charge" to the battery as i had not driven the car in months. Removed this charger as soon as battery was fully charged.

Any other suggestions??
I checked RockAuto..... The clockspring is $290. WOW.

It is best to find a code reader that will tell you what the BAS/ESP light is for and go from there. Good luck.

I checked the price of a new 2021 corvette... Now THATS a WOW!


Errrr, back to reality... What in the world makes you thing the clock spring needs replacing (or are you trying to say R/A prices are high?).

Just my two pence worth - I had a similar issue the BAS/ESP light came on and off intermittently without affecting any other systems. I screened my car with my Autel scanner, and the live data showed the yaw sensor was showing constant variations in degree angle even though the car was park stationary with the engine off. I replaced the yaw sensor (part number A0025428918 version 01-05) which is located between the gear stick and the handbrake in the cabin. The part was second hand from a Mercedes ML 270 Cdi W163 and cost me £18. Scanning showed no more variations in angle when parked, and the light has been off for the last year or more!

Thanks for putting this information up on the forum, it is new one to me.

I don't know if I ever thanked you but you helped me about a year ago and told me the correct Autel MD802 to buy and got a good deal on eBay. It was able to read the BAS/ESP module that my MB II couldn't read. Turned out that it was a brake light switch. After replacing the brake light switch then the MB II could read all the modules again, so weird. Thanks for helping me a year ago!
