ABS, ESP and Traction lights are on

My Jeep just started to throw some lights on Sunday and twice I just turned off the Jeep and they went off.. However Monday evening they went on and are now staying on..

From my understanding this means I might have a bad wheel speed sensor.. Any idea how to tell which one? I'm going to check them manually tonight as its possible there is just dirt on them or a wire is loose..

Oddly i just had the safety inspection on Thursday so the shop did have the wheels off.. And then I did about 1000km on Friday-Sunday..

You can check to see if it's something obvious, but you need a scanner to see which one is at fault.

Take out your battery and let it sit for 5 minutes than put it back on and start your jeep.

Could very well be your TIPM - check out this link for more info. My '08 had the same issue and then some other gremlins (lights/windshield wipers/horn) and replacement of the TIPM solved everything. troubleshoot the other items noted above first and if that does not work, this might help.

I'm going to take it into the dealership because something is weird..

Tried disconnecting the battery (left it for an hour) and no help
Tried the On-Off-On-Off-On pattern to read the codes for a good 30 minutes and couldn't get the trick to work..

So I plugged in my ODB reader and get a system link error on the device...
Plugged in my AEV reprogrammer to reset all codes and it didn't link either...

Think I have a gremlin.. I'll post back what we find..
