However, if it is a hardware issue it is not safe to fly, because if the ESC stops sending signal to the motor while up in the sky the drone can fall down like a brick and can cause a lot of trouble! including property damage and/or cause harm to people.Īnd that is if the drone allows you to lift off in the first place. When you receive an “ESC status error” it can be difficult to ascertain if it is a hardware or software issue. So what causes ESC status error and how do you fix it?ĮSC status error can be caused by a faulty electronic speed controller or corrupted software, to fix this problem restart the drone multiple times, or refresh the firmware in DJI Assistant 2, if the error persists, try changing the ESC or send the drone to DJI for service. I had this problem with my spark a couple of weeks ago, few minutes into flying the drone automatically went crazy, lucky I was able to catch it, but refused to liftoff later on.Īfter contacting DJI, reading a bunch of forums, hours of frustration, and trying different things, I fixed it and saved myself hundreds of dollars, and so I thought I could do the same for others.

“ESC status error” has been an issue on DJI drones especially on the older models such as phantom 3 and spark but can happen on the newer models such as Mavic 2 pro and such, nonetheless, DJI doesn’t seem to come up with a solution.Īnd this error is not something you can ignore or say I will come back to it later because it can be very dangerous.
