Hi all,
I recently upgraded to 35s and I have a 3" lift and have replaced the OEM trackbars with JKS Adjustables. I noticed when I turn (like on an offramp or a sharp turn onto a road) at a fair clip, my ESP activates and my brakes feel like they're pumping. After the initial shock of "What the hell is wrong with my ride?" and thinking that I was gonna wreck, I realized what was happening (of course the big light on my dash helped too) and I just turned the ESP off, but I really don't want to have to do that every time I get in the Jeep.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had this problem as well and if there was anything I can do to make the ESP less sensitive. I have a Superchips Flashpaq but not sure if there is anything I can do with that.

Thanks!

 

When you installed your lift did you recenter your steering wheel? Superchips will not help you recenter your steering wheel but the AEV procal will

 

No matter how perfect your steering wheel is, your jk will try and kill you on offramps and on ramps. Been there, done that. Jeep actually recommends disabling all or part of the ESP system because larger tires screw ip the algorityhm that actuated the ESP. Look in your owners manual under ESP. Should be around page 305. If you dont have one, pm me and ill send you a copy of the page.

 

There is a way to permanently disable it instead of turning it off every time. It should be in your manual, you have to do this whole process where you turn your steering wheel and push buttons at the same time.

 

Awesome guys! Thanks for the info! I'll take a look at the manual and reply back! Man I love this place...great great info.

 

So you know, you can do the procedure with the engine running.

 

So I have an 07 X and I tried doing the song and dance about a dozen times and turned out it would not work unless you were in 4WD. I had the flash to the computer done at the dealer to turn it off completely 2WD and 4WD and it is awesome. Also I can do a song and dance and turn it on and off anytime. In my book it's pages 110 thru 113. and tells the different modes available for 2WD, 4 HI and 4Low.

 

I have an 08. Went to the dealer, they were clueless about turning it off. Said they didn't think they could. It was at that point that I left and I will never go back as they obviously don't have a clue. I tried the steering wheel dance and I couldn't get it to work. I just want it off. Is there a way without buying a super chip or procal??? It's going to get me killed.

 

FINALLY!!! I got it. Missed dinner, but its done
Thanks all

 

Great to know it works! Gonna do it tomorrow.
