Default Traction control issues.

I have a 2014 6spd 2 door sport and Lately I've noticed that when in 4lo the traction control light isn't on and sometimes kicks on randomly when wheeling and it's super annoying because it likes to beep at me. The 4wd light also blinks on certain terrain when 4wd is selected. Also the 4wd light doesn't show when in 4lo. I recently upgraded to gladiator take offs with 33in all terrain tires and had stability control kick in around corners but doesn't happen anymore. Fuse? Wheel speed sensors? Any help would be appreciated.

Note: when I got the jeep 4lo and traction control would always work.

HI Austin311.. not sure that your '14 is exactly like our '16.. here is the owners manual: 4L Range (4WD Models)
ESC Full Off
This is the normal operating mode for ESC in 4L range.
Whenever the vehicle is started in 4L range, or the
transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4H range or
NEUTRAL to 4L range, the ESC system will be in this
mode. In 4L range, ESC and TCS, except for the Brake
Limited Differential (BLD) feature described in the TCS
section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches an approximate
speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). For speeds at or
exceeding approximately 40 mph (64 km/h) the ESC goes
into ESC Partial Off When the vehicle speed drops
below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC system goes back to
ESC Full Off. The ESC is in ESC Full Off at low vehicle
speeds in 4L range so that it will not interfere with
off-road driving, but the ESC function returns to provide
the stability feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h).
The “ESC OFF Indicator Light” will always be illuminated
in 4L range when ESC is in ESC Full Off or ESC
Partial Off.
NOTE: The “ESC OFF” message will display and an
audible chime will sound when the gear selector is
placed in the PARK position from any position other than
PARK, and then moved out of the PARK position. This
will occur even if the message was previously cleared.

Could be a faulty transfer case switch. It provides a different resistance to the ECU for each position it is in.
