Hi,
My ESP/BAS light is since a few weeks always on, it comes off tho if I press ESP off button. The predator reports no trouble codes. My question is, is the predator capable of showing all trouble codes or are there codes only a dealer can see with their starscan-tool etc?
ESP/BAS light but no trouble codes

RE: ESP/BAS light but no trouble codes
The Predator only shows Powertrain codes, and not all of those either. You need to get a real scanner, like an Actron to see other codes.

Hey ya, try this...
It sounds like the steering input portion of the ESP system needs to be calibrated.
Make sure the steering wheel is centered. Then start the car up and turn the steering wheel full left lock, then to full right lock, then back to center. Turn the car off, and then back on. That should take care of the problem.
You can do this while the car is moving, to avoid any strain on the steering. If you decide to do it while moving the car should be moving so that it is almost unnoticeable... AKA... realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly, slow.
I've had this problem before as well and this solved it.
Cheers

Thanks for the info. I've been trying that reset proceedure, but it doesn't help. I'll try it again tho. But doesn't it need to be in park?
I really suspect front brakes tho, I think they need replacing cos I have a clunking noise when going over bumps and not applying brakes. Read in another forums that that is often solved by replacing brake pads and tention things on the pads.
I have an appointment with a dealer tomorrow to check codes, but I really hate paying over $70 just to check if there is a trouble code
.
The car is not showing any codes either tho whith the "key dance". Is that also not showing all codes?
