Is there anything that im damaging if I keep trying to get the ESP to come on?

it was snowing and icy on the road tonite so I was letting the ESP kick in a lot. I was trying to see what the limits of my tires and the car was so I know how to counter act when the situation does occur unexpectedly. The ESP came on a few times and a bit worried if anything will get damage if it constantly kicks in.

TIA

Not really. More wear and tear on the brakes perhaps, but the rest is electronics shutting down...

Some systems.

Eventually, you'll overheat the brakes and the system will disable itself until they cool off.
