Part: Control unit
Operation: How to disable ESP

Today we will show you one of the procedures for deactivating ESP on your car. First you need to access the fuse box inside the passenger compartment, which in almost all cars is located under the steering wheel (or below and to the left of it, near the door). Here you should find the "steering angle sensor", as shown in the video: remove it by pressing on the side hooks and sliding it out of its seat. Now the ESP will no longer be able to function as there will no longer be the sensor to send the signal, but the ABS will continue to work and there will be no problems with the normal braking system.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
