1. Repair the wiring harness connector on the ESP control module.
2. If any of the above fault codes are current, perform a diagnostic test on the brake pressure sensor (B34/2) and/or brake booster piston travel sensor (A7/7b1) using STAR Diagnosis.
3. If the brake pressure sensor (B34/2) is found to be faulty, replace it. Reference WIS document AR42.45-P-0816GH.
