    Hey guys. Something odd happened to me today. So I don’t drive my cars often. Got in my FF to start up the car and kicked right up but the screen says ESC Off

    Manettino is on Comfort. So I tried to flip the switch to ESC off to turn it off (hoping it out turn it back on). Nothing

    I went ahead and drove it anyway. Reached my destination and hoped that turning the car off and then on would clear the error. Didn’t work, when I started the car it showed ESC off again

    Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions on how to get this back on or clear the error? Thanks!

    How's your battery voltage and cranking cca?

    I would try the following. Disconnect the battery and attach a charger to it. Let it sit over night. Then by the morning the car should be reset and the battery should be charged. Reattach the battery quick release and start the car to see if that fixed the issue.

    Thanks guys. So I have a lithium battery in the FF and have had it for about 18months

    the car kicks over fine, no sluggishness (I’ve had a couple bad batteries in the past)

    i plugged in my ctek lithium charger the last couple days. The Antigravity app says the battery is 81% and 13.3V. I was told not to charge the battery to 100%, but maybe I’ll give that a try and see if the error goes away

    Doubt it's a battery issue. 13.3 volts is plenty for that car. But try the hard reset and see what that changes. Disconnect the quick remease for more than 10 mins and reconnect.
    If that does not help, I think it is time to see your dealer.
