I have a Vauxhall Zafira 1.8 SRI - the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) light has come on and remains on while driving. Is this something to worry about (as I have not noticed any change in responsiveness etc) and is there a way to reset it myself please?

Many thanks

My Zafira is an sri and Vauxhall dealership have quoted £1700.00 to replace the ABS unit. I still have brakes and the ABS works as no light is on for that just have to settle for no ESP.

my zafira 1.9cdti esp light has came on at the weekend i brought it to the auto spark i always use and he put it on the diagnostic machine and the fault was diagnosed as steering angle sensor we have been told to get the wheel alignment sorted and that should solve it. heres hopeing. will find out tomorrow when i take it to be aligned.

I have the same model as you and experiencing the exact same problem. The car is just outside of the warranty and vauxhall have diagnosed the ESP has failed. Sounds like a common fault to me. I am trying to negotiate with them at the moment as they are very expensive to replace. Have you had yours changed? would be great to have a result.

The light comes on because there is a fault, you could take the bulb out but the fault would still be there!!!!
Find a garage with decent diagnostic equipment and get the fault codes checked then start a new post.
