My esc light has been coming up on dash. Its says esc off. Today I figured out when and what makes it come on. When I start the car I then push the brake. Pedal all the way down. As long as I hold it don't the light won't come on. As soon as I start to release pressure the light come on. The pedal doesn't even move an 1\8 of an inch and the esc off light comes on. I did this 20 times and it happened very time. I mean as soon as I start to release pressure the light comes on. To reset the light I just restart the car. The car isn't even in gear when this happens. I'm completely stopped in park. Do u have any ideas what is causing the light to come on. KevinMy esc light has been coming up on dash. Its says esc off.

Kevin:
You need to have the computer scanned to determine what is the cause. Your case is somewhat unusual. If we start guessing, you'll most likely end up putting a lot of money into it and still not fixing it. It could be something as simple as an ABS sensor. Seriously, scan it and see what codes show up. Let me know what you find.
