Limp mode?
Oddly enough I experienced LIMP MODE before I even bought my Wrangler. I was at the dealer a few months ago test driving a 2014 sahara when as soon as I got off the highway I got the same lights on but the car also wouldn't accelerate past around 25 km/hr and it was constantly pushing forward unless I stepped on the break. The sales guy that was with me said he'd never seen anything like this before on a brand new car. We took it right back to the dealership service centre and they said it was limp mode. If you can accelerate to normal speeds then I would question if it's limp mode.. based on my experience that is.

Thanks again for the help folks!

Your Jeep could have thought you were in a skid and applied brakes to try to correct. Had it happen to me a couple times: Bent drag link the first time (no unusual lights), bad unit bearing the second time (lots of lights). I've also seen it with a damaged wire to a wheel sensor (caused by a lift), and the aforementioned bad battery (two dead cells, that being in a '12 JK). And read plenty of folks who've simply had a bad sensor. While some code readers can read the ABS codes, most cannot. Dealership sounds like a good plan since you've got warranty coverage, but if you have a lift, you might do a visual inspection of the wiring around the wheels to ensure a wire hasn't become crushed or otherwise damaged. Dealer probably wouldn't warranty repair, and the DIY fix is usually just splicing the wires back together and routing so it doesn't happen again.
