When the ESC light appears on the instrument panel of the Fiat 500, it means that the electronic stability control system is not functioning, likely due to an error. Since this light does not indicate a specific malfunction, it is not possible to establish a single method to reset the light.

To identify the problem, it will be necessary to perform a diagnosis to understand which component of the car is causing the issue. Once identified, you can address it so that the ESC light disappears from the instrument panel.

Finally, disconnect the scanner connected to the OBD port under the steering column.
