ABS, Traction, Service 4wheel drive

[JenHeath0]

I've had my jeep less than a month. These were popping up day one. They come and go. I can drive it for a couple of days and no issue.

Sales guy told us to drive it around for a little while and to let him know if they didn't go away

I spent 2 weeks trying to get ahold of the service guy he told me to call. Finally did. Driving it sometime next week to get it checked.

My question is: is there something majorly wrong or just a sensor?

Not sure, but looks like a fun party coming up.

I'd take a look at the backs of your wheels and just see if anything looks weird with your ABS sensors.

that's actually a work truck order. I didn't realize I posted that.

Read your codes, it will narrow it down for you.

I can tell you I got the same warnings and it was my driver side rear speed sensor.
A critter had chewed through the wires.

They all come on at the same exact time. Which is weird. It seems to happen when the tires get uneven. (Driving up a steep hill, taking a sharp curve, etc)

What specific fault codes are kicking out?

It says ABS error, service four wheel drive, and then service the electronic stability control. I haven't had the exact service codes pulled up.

The dealership is going to take care of it. I purchased a 3 yr warranty when we bought it

Let us know what it was. I bet it was an ABS sensor, or at least some kind of sensor on a wheel. Something similar happened to me one time on my JK

Some people also found that a wire, drive side was routed close to the steering column and was causing intermittent short. Can’t remember what post it was, but was a simple fix.

I'd start with a scan to see what codes you have. These things are notorious for throwing a bunch of codes associated with a core code messing up things "upstream". For example, a bad ABS wheel sensor or bad/rubbed ABS wire going from the sensor to the ABS module can cause what you are describing. Or a bad wheel hub. With a scan and codes, you can start checking things off on the list.

Those are your warning lights, what we mean by codes are read through the OBD with a device. My Tazer does it.

When you read the codes you get an alpha numeric string and from that can pin point where the issue is.

I had a U0418 and U140B, 418 is a communication error and 140B is communication error with driver rear speed sensor. That is how the codes narrow down the search.
The problem was a critter had chewed through both wires to speed sensor.
