Video tutorial

In this video, we will look at a reason why the ESP light may come on in the Fiat Grande Punto. The reason is a broken wire (specifically, the ground wire) on the yaw sensor located under the handbrake.

The YouTuber shows the sensor with the broken wire and how to easily access it. Simply remove the plastic cover of the centre console that covers the handbrake to reach the sensor located just beneath the metal wires of the handbrake. Reconnect the broken wire, and the light will turn off.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
