Facing ESP failure issue on my 2-year-old Ford Endeavour

The SUV is also showing "hill descent failure" on the display. Both issues started right after the 30,000 km service.

BHPian Sandeep2512 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I own a 3.2 Endeavour for 2 years. Recently sent it to service at 30,000 km. Was trouble-free for 2 years. After servicing, the car didn't start and showed ESC failure and hill descent failure on the display. They did some software redo and wiring check. The car moved ok for 1000 km and the error occurred again. Switched off the car and restarted, the error disappeared.

Again the same error after 2 days. Sent the car again to the service centre, they changed a wire. The car went smoothly for 500 km and again the same error. Goes off after restarting. The car was sent to the service centre day before yesterday but no error has been found yet. Any suggestions?

Here's what GTO had to say about the matter:

Could be a multitude of reasons, including the ESP board failure, sensor, wire, rat damage or... believe or not, a weak battery! I recently saw a Christmas tree on my dashboard which was nailed down to low voltage from a weak battery (full thread report).

Hope your car is still under warranty and you've taken the extended warranty package.

Here's what BHPian VW2010 had to say about the matter:

Check this thread. Read post number 7 (Read the full thread to understand the similar problem and potential solutions) and see if that's something you can ask the service guys to check for the same. This is for a Ford truck and it shouldn't be different for your Endeavor.

After getting an Endeavor, my time is spent more on these forums and had come across this last week while checking for an engine light issue (MAF sensor).

Here's what BHPian ruzbehxyz had to say about the matter:

It seems like a battery issue. Go to an authorized battery shop (not a service center) and do a complete battery health check. A weak battery can also cause these errors. On the other hand, what wire did the service center change? Did they provide any details?
