Default 3 Continuously Illuminated Dash Lights

I own a 2009 Jeep Wrangler X with a V6 3.8L engine, 6-speed. About a week ago the three illuminated lights in the picture (ABS, ESP/BAS, Traction Control) came on and stayed on after ignition. I have no idea what is wrong, but if I can fix it without taking it to the dealership I'd prefer to do that.Click image for larger version

it's most likely a wheel speed sensor gone bad.
or your steering wheel isn't centered.

you can do the key dance to see if your jeep pulls a code.

switch the jeep from off to Accessory, push in on the key, go from ACC to ON three times, without starting the Jeep.
if you have any codes you will see them in the odometer.
most likey it will be a U code, like U1417.

you can go online and check out Jeep jk DTC codes.

you can also look up how to change out the sensor online and the part number.

PN# 68003281AA is for the front one's I believe.

each wheel has a sensor.

just looked at your picture closely.

did your lights come on after your low tire light came on??

if so I'd check your tire first and see if the lights go off.

I am having the same problem. I will be driving straight down the road and all of a sudden all three lights will come on and the breaks will start to pulsate and try to stop the jeep.

I have a 2009 Rubicon, and Saturday night I was driving straight down the interstate at 65mph and all of a sudden my esp/bas light and my "slippery car" traction control light came on. I tried to pull codes, but none came up. Taking mine in tomorrow, so I'll post and let you guys know what Jeep dealer says. Oh, and even though that is a symptom of a lifter Jeep with a non-centered stearing wheel, my Jeep is not lifted.

Im going to vote that it's your wheel sensor. Same thing happened to me a while back. I'm on my phone now, but check through the threads I started and you'll find it. I also seem to remember there being a fix in that thread I could have done myself instead of having the dealer do it

Yeah, alignment is fine, I was thinking wheel sensor also but there are no codes when I check by doing the key dance. That would have made it easy.

Gotcha, I will check all the wires when I get home and if nothing I will start replacing the wheel sensors.
