Default ESP engaging

Hello Folks,

First thanks for taking the time to help! My ESP is engaging when Cornering. My Toe is at 1/8 inward, steering wheel is stright and my psi has been chalked at 22psi. Could it be the clock spring? The airbag light isn't on. I'm guessing speed sensor. Any suggestions on what I should do? Maybe pull fuse J6 and wash my hands of ESP?

Could be a unit bearing going bad.

Did you flash the PCM for tire size?

Should I jack up front and wiggle tires?

What's the preferred method on PCM flash? Disconnect the battery and turn on the lights?

You need a programmer. Otherwise I would think like said the wheel sensor or unit bearing going bad.

No programmer, so I'll check bearings and sensors.

Jacked up front end and shook both front wheels at the nine and three o'clock positions also the twelve and six o'clock position. Took tires off and shook at the rotors as well. Didn't feel any type of play or movement. Could it be caused by running 30psi for two years and recently aired down to 20psi do to center wear? Also jeep is pulling to the left even though toe is set at 1/16 in, along with centered steering wheel? Im out of ideas at this point!
