Description of the problem	The esc on two separate occasions came on while driving on dry road between 30 and 55 mph. Tried turning pushing the on/off ecs switch, but light would not go off. With vehicle stopped, shifting transmission while pushing on brake pedal, esc light would not go off. Turned off engine, waited a few minutes then restarted, light came back on.
