2. Turn the steering wheel until it is centered and the
wheels are pointed straight ahead.
3. Cycle the ignition key OFF to ON.
4. Wait approximately five seconds for the system bulb
check.
5. Turn and hold the steering wheel one-half turn to the
right (clockwise).
6. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds.
7. Turn the steering wheel back to center, and turn and

I would like to add that 08 Wranglers built early in the year will disable the entire ESP/Anti Roll mitigation/ BAS/ABS with one push of the "ESP" button in every drive mode including 2WD. I might add this may be on Rubicons ONLY. Some say it works and some say it does not.
I can light the tires on the street in first gear on 35's. 60 mph + and its still lets me spin the mud all over the place.

Hey,
I never could get the esp to shut off with the pushing of the button and turning of the wheel. Until someone on another forum said to start the jeep and do the wheel turning. After that I shut it off the first time i tried it. anyway good luck.
