Driving to work today on a fairly smooth highway maybe hit a pothole nothin major. When a chime sounded and the ESP and bas lights came on and stayed on!
Haven't been off roadin in months.
Don't see why this would happen all of a sudden. I know this has probably been answered before but I have searched high and low and couldnt find the same situation that I am having. Any help would mean the world to me.
Thanks guys.

 

First, is your steering wheel centered? Second you may have a dirty wheel sensor or one has gone bad. See if it comes back on after leaving the jeep sit for a while and starting it back up. Mine came on one day on the way home bc it was so windy that I was driving at 1:00 to compensate for the wind. Light was on for like 15 mins and turned off. Try that out. Good luck!

 

Yes. Steering wheel is centered. Only thing I have done in the last week was add led foot lighting up in the front seats. I'm gonna try and let it sit for a few hours. Thanks

 

I could be wrong but I thought if you had a bad or dirty wheel sensor then your ABS light will also come one.... at least that's what happens on our JK's.

 

Also check your toe-in. If you adjust this you will also have to recenter your steering wheel.

 

Any pix or links to what the sensor looks like. And also would I have to check my toe in even I I haven't done any off roading in months an only drive about 20 miles a day at most.
Thanks again for all the replies

 

I have a 09 jk 2 door this exact same thing happened to me when turning into a gas station at first i thought gas light i look down and the esp bas light was on and the light were it saiz u are slidding. I called the dealer and they said bring it in. There is a sensor in your steering wheel colum and it is only held on by black electrical tape. It came loose and was making the computer think the steering was not center. I watched them replace still under warrant was free and no more problem since been about 3 weeks.

 

I will try to find the warranty paper work and tell u the name of the sensor and part #

 

Hey jeepsta. That definitely sounds exactly like what happened to me this morning. Please let me know if you find the warranty and paperwork. Thanks

 

Found the paper work all it said is
warranty claim
5156106ab (CLKSPRING)

Hope this helps..
