How to fix the traction control (ESC) warning light that stays on

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Instrument cluster

Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that a warning light remains on - like the ESC light - and, even though we are certain that there is no problem, it continues to stay on. However, there are several ways to turn it off. Let's see what they are. The first is of course to disconnect the battery from the vehicle, and leave it disconnected for at least a whole night. The second method is to check in the owner's manual if there is a method indicated by the Manufacturer to perform this operation. But of course, the best thing to do is to connect a code reader to the OBD port to identify the various error codes in order to delete them. The one shown in the video is a professional model, but you can find valid ones for a few tens of euros on any e-commerce platform.
