Audi ESP Light On

Audi DTCs for “Please read memory of engine control unit,” or “Load/RPM signal missing from engine control unit” are stored in the memory of the ESP control unit. When ESP regulation is necessary, the system interferes with the engine management system to reduce torque. Before the ESP system activates the brakes, TCS regulation takes place. The engine management system must work flawlessly to ensure proper ESP system operation.
