I'm having this intermittently. Having the commute that I have, I don't necessarily have the time to leave it at the dealer for them to scratch their heads. Please figure this out so I can tell my dealer what the fix is.

I'm tired of those lights coming on at will
I'm just about to take a tape and mask out that section on the pannel.
I just ignore them.....
1st generation JKs are not good at all when it comes to electronics...
Sucks.... but hey.... I have no problems with it at all

There is a technical bullitin about this. the steering sensor doesn't match the software. They need to reflash the ecu. to get it to read the sensor correctly. Mine does this after a really tght turn. like a U turn or into a parking space. It will usually turn itself off until the next tight turn.

I have the same problem. I don't have time to take it to the dealer and be without a car. I have a few things that need to be done..
air leaks, water leaks, whistles, scratched pannels, ecu re flaching, you name it I need it.

Mine comes on when I'm going in a straight line...

Thanks for the info.
