I just got a 3.5" Skyjacker lift put on my Sahara and the day after I had it put on the ESP BAS light came on. The tracktion control light comes on as well but that can be turned off with the button by the shifter. I had read a thread that said after a lift if your steering wheel isnt strait it will cause the ESP BAS light to come on. Does anyone know how to straiten the steering wheel out? It only needs to go a little bit to the left. Is that the answer to fix this problem? If you have photos to direct me it would be much apreciated im not the brightest crayon in the box...
somthing strange noted... after this problem started I noticed when you put the key in the ignition where it usualy shows the mileage before you crank it over it now says 9ATE...???? Anyone know about that?
Thankyou

Anyway, the easiest way to get your steering wheel centered (or very close to it) is to go to a parking lot (or somewhere with some room)and drive it straight for a long enough distance that you know it's travelling in a straight line. Then, you loosen the two bolts on your drag link adjuster and turn it (the adjuster)until your wheel is centered (another body watching the steering wheel is helpful in this process). Retighten the two previously loosened bolts and you should be good to go. If you still have problems with the light, disconnect the negative battery cable for about 5-10 minutes to help reset the computer, (works on older models, I can neither confirm nor deny that it works on the JK but I would think that it would) and reconnect the neg.
