Default Three warning lights

I have an 07 unlimited rubicon, 55K miles.
In the course of normal driving, without any other indication, these three lights turn on in the instrument panel. There are no drivability issues, no other indicators that anything is wrong. They stay on for a while, turn off sometimes without warning and turn back on.
Anyone see anything like this?

I had the same thing minus the abs light not too far back. Mine WOULD go into "limp mode" sometimes but sometimes it wouldn't. Turned out being cam position sensor. In your case, I would start with wheel speed sensors. Since the traction control uses the abs to function, and there was in fact an issue with the abs, that would cause those other 2 lights to come on as well

Call some of your local auto parts stores (AutoZone, Adanvnce, O'Reilly's, etc) and ask if they have an code reader that will read ABS codes. This is important since some will only read and clear check engine lights. Most of these places will read the codes for free. My guess is you have a wheel speed sensor that is going bad. The code reader will tell you which one. It's an easy and cheap fix from there.

I did the whole hocus pocus steering wheel dance to disable the ABS and ESP since it would kick in around turns and what have you, after about a month of this the same lights would pop up on my dash, not a big deal to me but my dad drove the jeep and about had a sh*t fit when he saw it, brought it into the stealership, turns out that doing the little steering wheel trick turns off a part called the "Dynamic Stability Control Sensor" and when shut off for a certain amout of time, stops working. This is according to jeep which leads me to believe its a lie, but after spending $387.66 the lights turned off. Sorry for long post, this issue pisses me off and i feel as if jeep should fix it.


EDIT:: No codes will pop up when these lights are on, went to Autozone, have my own scanner, and even jeeps scanners did not display any codes regarding lights.

Yeah, if there's nothing wrong mechanically it won't trigger a code.

You forgot to mention this little key piece of information in your OP.

Happened so often to Land Rover Discoveries it was nicknamed the Three Amigos. ABS sensor in one of the wheels was usually the cause.
