When is it best to take ESP off and when its off is it the little car swurve symbol on the dash??? and when i took it off i think... today in the snow i was in 4hi and took a quick right and it felt like my car was jolting or sumthin??? Help

 

You will get all kinds of opinons on when not to use or when to use it, I only turn it off in low speed situations. In 4lo it will automatically turn off of course, and yes when it is off you will get the car swerve symbol. However when it is on and I get the Jeep a little squirrely the symbol blinks on and off and you will feel kind of like a jerking feeling.

 

its not a car

 

Thanks guys. Really that actually helped... Explains why the car jerked cuz it was partially off. So offroad 4lo turn it completely of?? And another noob question, but up here in the snow and salty roads.. how do u keep from underneath rusting?? i have always had Xterra(boohooo) and just washed it alot is tht wat yall recommend and how often...

 

Whenever you engage 4Lo on your Jeep the computer will automatically disengage the ESP and will subsequently re-engage it when you shift out of 4Lo.

As for the cust, being to sure to was your jeep or bring it through a car wash that does the under carriage semi-frequently will certainly help to remove the road salt build up on your vehicle.

 

thanks kuntz... i figured! im still a georgia boy lol

 

LOL!!! Too funny

 

damn you beat me too it..

 

the jerking when you turn could also be your drivetrain binding up and unloading on you. very common in sharp turns when in 4wd.

 

also turn it off when in the sand, cuz if you bog down, it will kick in and you will sink deeper,
