ESP/BAS dash light on after wheeling.
I took my JK out on some pretty rough trails this past month. The first time, my ESP/BAS dash light came on and ESP stayed on even after going back into 2WD. I can turn the ESP off and the indicator turns off, but an ESP/BAS light stays on. A warning indicator I presume. The problem went away. 2 weeks later, same rough trails, same problem now. Can anyone tell me what I might have broken? I know an alignment is needed but I have a gut feeling it's more than that.

Mine does it every time I go out and hit even just a little mud puddle. I think its just dirt getting into the sensors. The first time i stopped and sprayed them out and it went away right away. Now i just dont worry about it and turn the control off inside that way I dont loose power. Ive been thinking of doing the kill all switch for all those lights that way when they kick in i can just turn them off until I clean it.
My abs light also comes on with them

Mine came on also, it was a combination of wheel alignment and the steering wheel not being centered. The vehicle thinks you are in a skid because the steering wheel is not centered. I need to order the service manual so lI don't have to take it to the dealer and have it reset all the times. It doesn't sound hard to reset. Just a bunch of turns of the wheel after the steering wheel has been recentered.
