What's wrong?
The ESP module software on the 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish helps manage the electronic stability and brake assist system. The brake booster needs vacuum from an electric vacuum pump so the pedal has power assist. With enough vacuum, the driver gets normal pedal effort and the brakes respond as designed.
On affected Vanquish vehicles, diagnostic code P050FFF can be set during the first drive after ignition start. That code incorrectly shuts off the vacuum pump, so the pump stops building vacuum for the brake booster. Without that assist, the pedal takes more force and braking performance is reduced compared with normal operation.
An owner can see a warning message on the instrument panel and a brake warning symbol if the pump has not created enough vacuum. The brake pedal can also feel harder than normal. A dealer can read code P050FFF in the ESP module during diagnosis.
