I hope this works.
I have posted in 2 other threads about how my ABS, BAS and traction control lights stay on even though I don't have any faults in the computer. I tried this wheel dance before after I replaced the sensors and I must have got lucky. I forgot about turning off the Jeep after you complete the left to right dance. I will post my results.

Ok, so I just finished working on a friends '10 JK 4dr. He was having the same problem after having gone wheelin. Initially the lights would come on and go back off. Then they came back on and stayed.
I was able to find that on the right rear, the speed sensor wires were worn raw and shorting out on the frame by the gas tank. There is a sharp edge of the frame that the wires can and did catch on.
I was able to cut, splice, and lengthen the wires, tape them with electrical tape to keep out the water and grit. Drove it less than 50 feet and the light went off and has not come back on.
The problem is that the BAS recognizes that one wheel is not turning as fast as the others (due to the short) and applies the brakes. It thinks you are about to roll over.
Check all the wires on the speed sensors especially if you ride is lifted. these tend to have a greater chance of rubbing.

A fix for this that came from My Girlfriend.
My girlfriend has a little mercedes kompressor that would do stuff similar to this and when my JK unlimited did it, she said go out (and this works) to the jeep, turn it on, turn wheels all the way left, then all the way right, then turn off. then turn on and drive. upon shifting to second it will go off. I swear to GOD it worked. I was floored.

Over 9 years later and this particular post is still helping. I haven't been active on the JK forums because of work. I was very active on the S2000 forums but I just want to thank LordEgg for this post. I was heading home from watching Kung fu panda 3 with my kids and these alights came on. Got home and looked it up and stumbled across this post. Adjusted the steering wheel to straighten it out and then did this. Magic ensued and the lights went away.
