I've had mine come on a couple of time driving in the stupid Oklahoma cross wind but they would clear after i restarted my Jeep and drove forward for about a block.Also you might check where you sensors go into your rear axles. i changed out my rear end this weekend and the rear sensors have quick disconnects on them and mine were pretty beat up. I had to pull all my sensors out to switch out my front and rear end and when i got everything back together those same lights came back on, but again cleared when i drove forward for a block or so.

It sounds to me like something with your ESP went bad. I've heard of a couple of guys having bad ESP modules and having to get them replaced. I would go to a dealer and have them take care of it if it's still under warranty.

its either a bad wheel sensor or the tone ring on one of the unit bearings is shot. I just had warranty work and those where some of the symptons.

Default Just happened to me

Just happened to me today. I have the ABS Light, ESP BAS Light and the Traction Control light always on. Just happened suddenly today on the interstate. Not sure if it had anything to do with all of the snow I had to drive through today...but this should all be covered under warranty.

Made an appointment with the service department for 7 am tommorow. We'll see how it goes, I'll let you know.

Had it happen to me a couple months ago. Thought is was a wheel sensor. Took it in and they said it was the ABS control modual. Replaced that and now the wheel sensor code comes up. When the wheel sensor comes in, it will be the 4th time I've had it worked on since the lights came on. We'll see if it gets fixed this time. What a pain....

The raw data for all these features is the 4 wheel speed sensors - if there is a fundamenal problem they would all default and switch on their warning lamps like you are seeing. A secondary issue might be CAN communication between modules - but I would guess this less likely. Module failures are not that common despite what you hear - it is the simple fix and money maker for dealers - like the guy above said they replaced his module and the same error persisted.

You have had a lift so chances are during fitment or some large articulation you have stressed/streched the wheel sensor wires - or got water/dirt in the wiring or dirt between sensor and its target or just plane damaged the sensor.

Try checking for fault codes using the ignition on/off/on four times routine - or go to autozone to get a free code read - you might have to specifically ask for them to request ABS codes (I haven't read ABS codes specifically before at Autozone, and have used a StarScan Jeep tool at other times which gets all codes on all modules).

These lights do suck, I have already had the esp module replaced under warranty. After replacement the problem got worse, they tinkered with it some more, and after six trips to the stealership, the lights are finally off.

Thankfully mine reset last night. It just took longer than I thought. No lights now!
