Could be a speed sensor. They could be dirty or broken?

Could be the clock spring sensors in the steering wheel....Is the steering wheel centered? Also, check to see if you knocked a speed sensor wire loose. One of my rear wheel speed sensor wires came loose and was not making contact. I just climbed under the Jeep and found the culprit and pushed the wire back in to place. Next time I started the Jeep the dash lights were gone and everybody was happy.

May not show up with the usual fault code sequence but a Superchips should confirm what the cause is. My guess also is wheel speed sensor got snagged and broke an internal wire

X2. On the bright side, wheel speed sensors made after 09 are about 6 inches longer which is great for added flex and only $22-24 straight from the dealership

I had the same thing happen over the winter while driving through deep snow drifts. If everything is still driving ok. Give it a few days before you dump cash into it. Mine reset itself after about 24 hours and I haven't had a problem since.

Had the same issue where I replaced my speed sensor on the front right wheel due to esp/bad lights and it worked fine for about a month but then the lights returned again.

Brought it to the dealer and they determined it was the hub assembly. Replaced it last week and no lights or codes so far Sent from my iPhone using JK-Forum
