Default Traction control light problem

Just bought my jk with a 3" skyjacker lift that was installed by the dealer. Traction control light coming on and brakes pump only on hard right turns. The dealer did an allignment but still having problems. Any ideas?

My sensor was comming on but it was because the steering wheel wasn't straight. If all your steering components are aligned then it could actually be the sensor itself. I believe there is one for each wheel.

Probably need to re center your steering wheel, it's super easy, there are write ups on it, do a search

My abs pumps on right turns also, but haven't had it checked out yet.

If your steering wheel is centered and you still have this problem you might not have enough caster. Also, check the air pressure in your tires.

Are you able to take it back to the dealer? If they installed the lift they can your ABS/ESP either by an adjustment somewhere or flashing your computer if all else fails. I had this problem initially with 4.5 inches of lift and then got it aligned...never had the issue again. Talked to my dealership about it and they checked everything out and it it was all good to go. Course they didn't understand how my ESP and BAS stopped communicating to my computer until I told them I disconnected the fuses...They didn't look to happy about that, but when I explained it was more for my safety, they didn't say anything....

good luck!
