HHR 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,000 miles

At first it was just once in a while. Then went away for couple years. Came back as at first. Resetting itself when engine is turned off. After driving through turns and such would come back on stating : esc off, service esc. What the hell is the ESC ? There's a button on dash to turn it off and on but I really can't feel or see any difference in the handling or mech. effects. Now that it's time to get smog & registration I'm stuck cause the light is coming on all the time. WHAT t-- f----. Please advise.... Give me some info on what drives this ESC. What is the "Brain" behind this item. Where do I look to see what to repair or fix or to see if there is something dis-connected......... SOMETHING !!!!! The manual doesn't cover this as anything mechanical.
