What year do you have?

does the ESP kick in when you're cornering?

A. slow down! (kidding)
B. check your steering wheel. if it's not centred it will kick the ESP on

i had this problem before any mods. centre the steering wheel. it's easy and you can do it urself.

hope this helps.

My ESP has never come on on my 09 Rubi with Tera lift. I think you've got something wrong...

Actually, if you want true responsiveness that your superchip also helps remedy, just yank out the ESP fuse. It really bring the engine to life. This implies that your ESP does affect your acceleration off the line.

So is what your saying is to just pull the fuse out and your done, what other affects will this have.
