Default ESP light staying on for a few days, off again, on again

has anyone here had this happen before?

seems like the ESP light just stays on for a few days. then it goes off and the button works like normal turning it on and off, and then it goes back to the light being stuck on. WTF?

suggestions, stories, or advice?

Scan for codes, possibly a sensor on the way out, maybe just a loose connection

Possible lateral acceleration sensor failure.

Default That or the longitudinal acceleration sensor. Or steering angle sensor. One of them is failing

Usually it will cut in and out for awhile, then eventually fail altogether. Common issue.

As John mentioned, you need to scan the codes to know which one.
