Default ESP BAS Lights turning on going down the highway?

Know this isn't the right place for such a thread but it is by far the most used and I need answers quickly. When I'm driving down the highway at speeds 60+ these lights keep coming in randomly. They don't seem to be connected to a certain speed or amount of time passing but they haven't come on during my ten minute drive to work everyday. Is this a cause for concern? Ordinarily there wouldn't be a rush, but Sunday I leave on a 1200 mile trip that'll land me in Moab and I need to know if it's a problem a shop should check out tomorrow.

had the same issue, eventually just stayed on all the time. the cause on mine was a bad wheel speed sensor and a failing wheel bearing. at minimum, have the bearings checked. mine was left front wheel.

You might also do a good visual inspection of your wiring to the wheel speed sensors, especially up front. They are vulnerable to damage and in the wind, getting whipped around, they might cause your occasional lights.

Go to jeepsontrails.com and look at the tech section for pulling fault codes it will tell you if a wheel sensor is bad
