ESP=Electronic Stability Program (control)
BAS=Brake Assist System

Now, what are the conditions to which those lights are on? They normally come on if you are in 4lo as these safety features are disengaged.

They come on when your hubs are going bad and when your steering wheel isn't center

sent from the bottom of a water hold and didnt lock the motor

Or a wheel sensor is going bad, or the wiring to one has been damaged, or when you've got a battery going out. I've seen all five of those scenarios. And the lights are not consistent. Sometimes it will be more or fewer lights that go off.

There is a fix for misalign ed wheel, start jeep, turn wheel full left and then right then center. Shut off, start again then drive straight for 50' or so. See if light goes out after some driving.

To continue my smartazz thread... if you are driving straight down the road and your steering wheel is crooked enough this light will come on, the work "JEEP" is canted to on side type crooked. To fix this, in most cases, you need to adjust your drag link see link:

Project-JK.com - Jeep JK Wrangler Resource » Basic Do-it-Yourself Jeep JK Wrangler Front End Alignment

With the front wheels pointed straight, loosen the two 15mm bolts and turn that turnbuckle until JEEP is straight and level. Re-tighten the bolts and I mean crank on them. then do what Tomssw suggests. Some times you have to drive a couple of miles to get the lights to go off. 10min fix not counting drive time.
