Also got within 2 miles of home and the ESP broken message came on (and stayed on.)
So, shy of these being super easy things all 211 owners deal with, my question is, what do I need and where do I begin? Is my first move to buy and icarsoft? or similar? Then what? Situation is NOT urgent, but I'd sure like to at least have the ESP functioning before December.
Thanks!
Get an icarsoft. It can pull codes and reset all the computers in the car. It'll save you a ton of money and time on diagnostics.
