Hi Lky50, I can say is not a fuse. They either work or the don't.

To diagnose you will need to read the error codes and monitor live data for ESP, ABS and road speed wheel sensors. To do this you need a lexia tool (from here), a laptop and plenty of time to install and learn.

Not an easy thing to do judging by other posts about using lexia.

The lexia topic to read is here.
