Default ESP light on?

I installed my teraflex 2.5 coil lift with shock and inch spacer in front and half inch spacer in the back with a adjustable control arm in my 11 rubicon yesterday and everything went perfect except that when I went over 45 mph my ESP light came on on the dash. i have no death wobble or anything on the highway going about 60-65. it rides amazing but just the light is on? any idea of why it is on an how to fix it or shut it off. any idea an suggestions would be awesome, thanks!!

Re-center your steering wheel.

I found this solution in a post a while back that helped me. "While the Jeep is on, turn the steering wheel completely to the left, then completely right, center the wheel, then turn the Jeep off." Amazingly it worked for me, hope it works for you.

are you talking about the ESP bas light? Mine literally just came on driving down the interstate. This is the 2nd time it has came on, the first time I took it to the stupid dealership and it took them 2 different days and about 6 total hours to fix it. I don't want to have to take it to them again cuz I hate taking my procal off and then reinstalling it.

You didn't ask me, specifically, but I like my ProCal. Got a great deal on it from a buddy and I've used it to:

- Correct for tire size
- Correct for different gearing
- Set TPMS to "0", since I've ditched the sensors
- Enable One Touch Lane Change feature

I didn't use it to recalibrate my steering wheel center. I got it right just adjusting the linkage like you.

It's really been worth it to me, but I think a Flashpaq would be a good investment, too, if you want a bit more power.
