P0573 + Check Engine Light
Anyone knows what this code means? My car was stuck in snow today.. I turned the ESP off and while driving out of the parking lot I smelled something burning and the check engine light came on :doh:

Just pull fuse 11 for 5 minutes and restart your car. I had this a couple of snow storms ago also. You get it if your attempting to get unstuck and you don't use the brakes in between reverse and drive.
