Afternoon All, hoping to find some answers or similar experiences here. 2015 JKU.

When I start off driving BRAKE dash light comes on almost immediately and Jeep will then not shift out of gear. Stays in 1st typically, but has stuck in 2nd when I've shifted into manual 2nd. Have been able to resolve by stopping, turning off Jeep and restarting. Issue has begun to happen more consistently. Anyone experienced anything like this? I know that I've thrown a wheel speed sensor, could this be related?

Thank you in advance!

 

have a MT 6 spd so no issue in shfiting but had similiar issue, reader said speed sensor..changed it, also noticed what I felt was a sticky caliper, confirmed with IR gun and replaced, so far all good.... were you showing ABS light /traction control ?

 

Hey sir, Im actually happy to see this post. I have the exact same issue, what was needed to resolve the issue?

 

Hello Everyone,

Did anyone find out how to fix this issue? This just happened to me and before I run out and grab speed sensors, I would like to know what else would cause this?


Thank you

 

After talking to the dealership tech the right rear wheel speed sensor is somehow connected to the brake system. They kink the wires from the factory and this causes a short. You can see the kink where the wires are attached to the frame. This is most likely your problem. I have fixed mine twice now. The ESC traction control and ABS systems on the JK are horrible. When diagnosing the wheel speed sensors you need a scanner that will show live data to each wheel. However if the ABS light comes on along with the brake light you can be pretty certain its the right rear speed sensor. Why this keeps the JK from shifting is beyond me. Should be a recall from Jeep.
