ESP working or not?

My VW passat has traction control and with just the slightest loss of traction, like hard acceleration while make a sharp turn, the traction control kicks in. The ESP on the saab never seems to intervene in situations of traction loss. Like I'll punch it at a stop light when the pavement is wet and the tires spin and the ESP light doesn't come on. Does the light not flash when the ESP is working? My understanding is ESP not only gives the benefits of traction control, but also stability control. It doesn't seem to do much. Anybody else have any experience with it? Is it broken? Since it doesn't snow here I can't really test it in some empty parking lot somewhere.
