Default Esp and traction control light

So I went wheeling today pretty hard. After I was done the ESP and traction control light came on and staying on. Steering wheel I already re centered cause it came off center. Any ideas?

Same here, and my sway bar light won't go off but I think the anti rock being installed Tuesday will fix that.

The ESP/traction control may take a few cycles to clear up, at least it did for me once I re-centered.

if your steering wheel was off center, that is why it went off. and, if you already recentered it, give it a bit and it should go off. or, you can disconnect your batter for about 15 min and that should do the trick too.

Thanks. Would a bent tie rod make it go off? Still steers straight and rides good, but I can see a very slight curve up in it. Also what aftermarket tie rod should I go with?

a bent tie rod would make your steering be off just by a bit and give you too much toe in. if it isn't too bad, i would just re-set your toe and call it a day. if you're feeling like upgrading, i have installed and run both the rock krawler and now currie tie rod and both are great. the currie is more expensive but, it does come with super beefy tie rod ends and is adjustable without having to remove it.
