The asr light comes on once every 3 or 4 months. No problem, just turn the car off, turn the key in the ignition three or four times and it resets...This time i was driving and it came on and will not shut off. I even dropped power from the battery and let it sit for 5 minutes , as to reset the parameters. The car drove ok for about 2 miles then the ASR light came back on. Can i bypass the asr or what are my options PLEASE????? I just noticed on other threads that tire pressure could be the problem. I do have a very low tire on my driver side rear tire. Could this be the problem? I hope its that easy? I sure hope so. I will try the tire pressure thing tommorow. Its after midnight here and I need some sleep. Will try the tire in the a.m. . Thanks !!!

Could be, you are also beating up your diff driving around w/ one tyre low.

Could be a dirty sensor or your throttle actuators starting to give fits.

There are many possible causes, some serious others not. ASR light is a very common problem and there are many good threads on the subject. Try a search above. Do a search also for building a fault code tester and reading fault codes. Your car has a 38 pin diagnostic connector that will help you determine the source of the problem. You can build a fault code reader for the car for less than $10.

ASR light still on. Light came on during hard acceleration, while passing on freeway. Where is the throttle acc. and can a reset it or clean it somehow?
Thanks

.If it is spinning a tire at high acceleration, that is what it is supposed to do.
Why don't you take a previous posters advice and get the codes??

Update, i was doin 75 when i hit the gas !!! I seriously even my V12 span a tire at 75.

If it downshifted , it might..

Check tire PSI all around and then get codes ..you may have a Brake Switch code in there ,,,very common ASR fault. but check tires/psi first as tire sizing is critical for rev counting/comparison by the computer for ASR.

You may also consider running one thread on your problem. Dual threads take on a life of there own on and more often do not help get to the remedy of your complaint..........

If not where is it located and where are the numbers indicating which pins are what, as to jump out the asr?
