Q: Fitted new ABS to car, abs is for auto and my car is a manual
I have a citroen ds3 2010, I bought a new abs module and fitted it last night, but the ESP light is still displaying and I just found out the new ABS I fitted was for an automatic not manual. Is there any way to clear the codes (U codes for auto gear box) so that the ESP light will disappear?
