Default Dash Warning Lights

Ok so I had my tires off to paint the rims the other day. Everything went fine untill last night when warning lights on the dash came on.



I am thinking maybe something happened to a sensor? but I dont know what i should be looking for.. Also I did swap into the rotation my never used spare tire with three well used tires?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I haven't noticed any difference while driving.. I was looking at the wheel hubs but I am not too familiar with what I am looking for I'll take another look thanks for the help.

Ok I found them after a quick search under the Jeep.. I only found two under the rear tires? Also an interesting note both were attached but the passenger side had the red clip part facing down while the driver side had it facing up? both were very secure and after fiddling it didnt solve the problem

I'm going to give that a whirl now thanks...

I disconnected the battery for a while and reconnected it and still have the same lights... This is starting to drive me crazy!! Should I be concerned driving with the warning lights on?

Thejmack, did you check to see if there are any error codes?

If you don't have a superchips then codes can be gotten by doing this:

Error codes
Cycle the key from Acc (not Off, or rather "Lock") to On three time rather briskly. "On" being one detent short of starting the engine.
Lock->Acc->On->Acc->On->Acc->On Presto! Free diagnostic codes!
With any luck you'll see the ----------, followed after a few seconds by -- Done --. If not, good luck with the repairs!

It might be possible the different diameter of your unworn spare is causing this. Swap the spare back off and try it.

Go for a drive, 10 miles or so, keep the speed up over 40mph( can't remember what the manual says,). Stop every once in a while, turn it off, start it up. I had the same issue, if it stays on, get it looked at.
If you look in the owners manual, there's a section that covers this..

All four tires have to have the same diameter ; your 3 worn tires and 1 "new" are throwing the computer off due to different rotational speeds . Go back to the original 4, keep the "new" spare as a spare...ABS looks at rotating speed to work correctly.
