What to do if the ABS/ESC warning light comes on while driving

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Warning light – error code

Video tutorial

What should you do if the ABS/ESC warning light comes on while driving, without any adverse road conditions? First, remain calm: the issue may be temporary and easily resolved, but do not ignore it. The most common cause is a dirty or damaged speed sensor.

There is a small sensor near the brake disc.

If it is dirty with dirt or rust, gently clean it. Check the connector; disconnect it and reconnect it to ensure a good contact. Verify the brake fluid level.

If it is at the minimum, top up the fluid and schedule a visit to the mechanic to check the condition of the brake pads. Also, check the fuse box for the status of the fuse dedicated to the ABS/ESC. If these checks do not resolve the issue, drive cautiously, avoiding sudden maneuvers, and take the car to a garage for an electronic diagnosis.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
