Hello,

I just lifted a 2012 JKUR. The lift is RK 3.5 x-factor with bilstein 5100 shocks. The lift has been on the Jeep for 3 weeks. The two lights that came on were the ABS warning light and the ESC Activation/Malfunction. Both lights stay on the whole time while driving. I have cycled on/off a handful of times and they still stay on. Any ideas what may be causing these lights to activate? What should I check?

 

Your steering needed to be centered after the lift was installed. More than likely that's the culprit

 

Taken from rough country install paperwork

**"The draglink must be adjusted to the center steering wheel BEFORE the vehicle is driven. Failure to do so will cause a computer error with the Jeeps traction control system and result in odd handling and poor performance."**

 

Shop said they centered steering. Would it take 3 weeks and 500 miles to activate? Is there a way to check if steering is not centered?

 

When you're driving straight is the JEEP on the steering wheel perfectly horizontal or a little sideways? That will tell you if it's centered.

Another possibility is a speed sensor at the wheels....or a disconnected/damaged abs wire.

 

Id just bring it back to the shop... driving for 500 miles is stupid because the vehicle may have something wrong with it. it reset everything just unhook the battery and wait a few minutes then rehook it up.

 

Bring it back and have them look at it. Even though many lifts will "set" after driving around a while, so maybe something happened in that time. Who knows... again, have the shop who did the install go over everything with a fine-toothed comb. If the problem persists, perhaps a ProCal Module would assist. I mean, I'm not saying go out and spend money on something that MIGHT fix it, but it should and I think you should/would need one anyway considering you got a lift (and assuming bigger tires as well). Just my

 

Center the wheel and clear the code. I used my Flashpaq to clear the code on mine. You can also disable the traction control via a specific sequence.

 

Thanks! I will make sure wheel is centered and clear codes.
