Default abs bas light when flexing

so i went to the beach today, drove around and i found this tree stump that was above ground at an angle to where i could drive on it and flex. well as soon as i reached the end of the stump my abs and bas lights lit up. now i was already in 4lo so the dash said esp off and the esp indicator was lit as normal. i wasnt fully flexed none of my lines abs and brake had a lot of slack. i drove off the stump, turned the jeep off for a few seconds, turned it back on and it was still lit. i started driving away and after 200 meters it turned off. im wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if this is normal.

It didn't happen that way with me, but I am guessing that you are stretching the wire and finding a weak spot in the wire when flexed.

I'm going to see if the light goes on when I drive up with the driver tire.

Mines on an off all the time . Not sure why though ? Mine started after my lift . I just thought it was because it was higher messing up the system. Our jeeps know how far they r leaning over and such . Not sure but wish I could just shut all off

When I just replaced my hub and sensor, I took a look at the wires of the sensor. They are not very beefy at all!

Mine is on full time, along with the BAS/ESP lights. Checked all the wiring and sensors. They are all tied together. I am thinking it may be the ABS module.
