Sometimes the sensors just get clagged up with brake dust and general grime.

It is ESP that is fixed by turning the wheel 3 times from lock to lock, and this has nothing to do with ABS unless they both came on.

It can be easy to trigger the ESP if a front wheel loses traction when say leaving your garage on part steering lock, some cars do and some cars don't, need more info really

all i done was cleaned the pollen filter out,then when i next started the car the light came on,i dont think that could be related but you never no,
only the abs light came on,cruise control still worked so dont think its the brake switch but again im open minded

Not the brake light switch on your car, just ignore it for now thats the best way, if it happened from starting up then only a starting blip
