Did you recently do any suspension modifications or knock something out of alignment? These lights typically come on if the steering wheel is off center. You can center the wheel by adjusting the drag link.

You may also have lost or damaged a TPMS sensor on your wheels. Just a thought.

looks like you have a wheel speed sensor that has gone out.
those lights came on when I had one go out.

Speed sensor is about $20 at the dealership, but you need to find out which one is bad. They are pretty easy to break.. i broke one while removing my hubs during axle tube seal install. Had to drill and tap it out.

I did drive without a wheel sensor for a couple days... those are the same lights i had.

From what I've read these could illuminate for a number of reasons. Are you experiencing any play in the steering? The ESP/BAS light came on in my jeep. I had my wife get in the jeep and turn the steering back and forth slightly while I looked up from underneath front end. Turned out the nut that holds the drag link at the knuckle on passenger side was loose. Check the nuts on drag link, track bar, and tie rod to see if any are loose. Worth a shot cause it's an easy fix if its just something that needs to be tightened down. Good luck.

x2 on the wheel speed sensor. If one of them goes bad, the computer will light those warnings and disable all of the ABS and traction control functions. The trick is finding which one is bad, you'll have to swap them out one at a time and see. It's not an expensive part, but you have to pull the wheel off to get at it.

Steering wheel off center will cause this as well.

happened to me more than once. Usually after a rough off road weekend. re-centering fixed it both times.
