Default warning idiot lights

Driving home my car swervy light and esp with some other letters came in after ding noise. I know I know horrible description but you know what im talking about. Came on for about 30 seconds then turned off. Any ideas why? I do have lift and other aftermarket parts for some time without ever seeing this.

First thing, check your tie rod. If it's bent you need to either bend it back, and recenter your steering or adjust your toe then re-center steering.

Also a possible wheel speed sensor issue, but I'd suspect the tie rod first if it's stock.

Mine did that not to long ago, ended up being a wheel speed sensor. But, it could also be a non centered steering wheel or clock spring....

I'm betting on a speed sensor though.

That exact thing happened to mine 3 days ago plus abs light was on. I'm guessing its a wheel sensor again since this was the problem last year when it happened. Although I will try to center the wheel just to make sure.
