Warning Lights HELP ( ESP/BAS,ABS,Traction Control)

Did you ever resolve this issue? I have the exact same problem and tried quite a few things to no avail. Took it to one shop who ran the codes and C2200 also came up but the believe the module itself could not be the issue as the ABS ESP/BAS BRAKE and traction control lights come on after driving over 10 mph. Sadly they’re booked for over a month and have no time to actually work on it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Fixed
I guess the shop was right about it not being the module. Ended up being a lose ground connection on the body. Somehow the bolt came loose causing the poor connection. The guys over at the shop cleaned it, added some medium strength thread locker, and tighten it back up. I’ve put several hundred miles on it and they haven’t came back.

Clockspring 09 JK
I'm also new to this Jeep world, always been a motocross guy with trucks. Love my new to me JK recently bought a ln 09 Wrangler X 3.8L 6spd. So far in the past three months I've had a few hiccups.
1.) Starter relay l - clicking and intermittently not starting. Simple fix with a voltameter and some cold beers!
2.) Those BS transfer case clips break so easily when offloading. Grab some zip ties and if you dont have em it's easily switched into 4Hi-4lo right under driver side transfer case!
3.) Got deep in a river, then caught by a rain storm in same day with no top. Next day horn would not stop blaring. Disconnected it and let it dry for a day or so. Reconnected it and good as new!
4.) Washed the inside (no carpet all herculined). Within am hour or so lights were stuck on and wipers went bizurk. No signals, dome, high beams... pulled some codes... UO126 AND C121A. Both pointed me towards the clockspring. Called the dealer recall out on that and the passenger airbag so getting it replaced on Friday. For a small bandaid I tried resetting the ECM by disconnecting the battery and connecting the terminals for 30 seconds. Rooted once they connected back, put the key on accessory and turned lights on and off. Then cut the key back to off. All the signals and everything worked until I started it back up. The bandaid I'm trying g is leaving it running for a bit with the heat on to try to dry it out. Food for thought for you guys!
Also have a set of 275/70r/18 Falken AT3 going on with 1.5 spidertrax tomorrow 😁

Hello all. New to the forum, but not to the jeep nightmares.
I currently have a 2008 JKU that I replaced all ABS sensors on. I am still getting the C1210 code. Purchased a used (tested OKAY) G Sensor from FLeaBay. Installed and still same code.
Did the "90 degree turn stuff" and code still there.
Just got it back from Jeep steelership $250 later and tech said he couldn;t connect to the G Sensor and that there was a wiring issue ... he wanted to know if I wanted to pay $139.99/hour for him to troubleshoot! F' no I said.
So now I have to look into the wiring of this thing.
Anyone else have a similar concern and can point me in a direction???
Thanks

P.S. I need the codes removed from dash so I can get it inspected. Just bought the damn thing....

Update
Checked continuity with the 4 wires from G sensor to ABS connector. Found wiring diagram online.
Everything checks fine. I am at a frustrating loss. Going to check some grounds tomorrow.....

Opening this back up... my son's '07 had this problem and a local shop read the code for a bad ABS control module. We switched Jeeps for a few weeks while he saved enough money to get this done and while cheeking the oil I noticed that he had a slipped top radiator hose which was sending an antifreeze mist all over the engine bay.
Being THE DAD, I decided to degrease the mess and during the cleanup hit the inside of both front wheels with the cleaner. By the next day the Jeep dried out - no more codes. Tested the ABS with a couple of short stops and all good.
Another "Jeep thing" I guess.

Great timing for that response!
Thanks @RepressedSince15 ! , My buddy, @EHarris had the same codes thrown on his '07 last week. He plugged in a code reader and he also received "ABS control module". I will make sure he sees your post and tries your fix instead of relying on the stealership to fix.
