Esp light on after battery change

[Dazzalcr]

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum even though I've had my cupra r a few years now and have found some great advice in the past on the cars issues many thanks, these are a great car for there age.

Recently my car battery was dead as can be so I've swapped it over to a new one, and now the esp light is on and not by choice, I've been for a drive and the cars great not lumpy and drives as should, I have done the whole drive it forward and full lock left and right still no joy, also did a scan no engine codes but I did scan abs as well and got g419 pop up, did not have this before battery went dead do I need to clear it with vcds as my unit wont.

Yeah I'm going pop to garage in morning as he has a snap on machine but he cant clear it then there is someone with vcds, yeah it was fine before so dont suspect it to be a pro8cheers pal.

does the ABS work? if so it will possibly clear after a period of time.

It's possible that it just need the basic settings recalibrated with VCDS, perhaps the battery change somehow caused them to be cleared for some reason.

Hi mate I'm unsure really I e done the full lock left and right but as you said it may need re doing through vcds iam hoping not bloody battery but the car does drive great.

doh, you clearly said ESP and not ABS, for some reason i thought about ABS...

unfortunately the yaw sensor, (i think that's the sensor affected) do fail.
mine went on my cupra a good few years ago, think i got it done for about £15 exchange.
but do try to reset it, you may be lucky..
