Did replacing the transmission value body get your ESC, check engine issue resolved?
I'm having the same issue with my Gladiator 2022, getting the "electronic service control stabilizer", and "check engines" lights simultaneously while highway driving. Seems to trigger when I have the heat or ac on full blast and really throttle it, ie. I'm driving on the highway or about to get on the highway. Also the warning lights seem to pop-up, when it's raining and the roads are wet, maybe it's just a coincidence but here's the back story in case anyone else has or does have these issues.
It's happened a few times. ESC warning and check engine light come on together. The first time I was driving on the highway, 65-70 mph, heat full blast and the warnings popped up. I pulled over, read the manual some, turned off the heat, drove slow and after an hour or two it went away.
Then I was about to get on the highway with AC on and accelerating but the engine wasn't getting enough juice to accelerate. Turned off AC, accelerated fine. No warning lights.
Decided to take it to dealer to look at the codes and as I was getting ready to get on the highway and was accelerating, I turned the AC on full blast and the warning lights came back on, check engine and ESC, see video attached.
I figured with fresh warning lights and codes etc the dealer would solve it and they couldn't have been more unhelpful. They cleared the codes couldn't recreate the error, said it was the transmission valve body but didn't replace it because they couldn't recreate the codes and didn't want to get stuck replacing the transmission valve body and not have Jeep cover it if it wasn't the transmission valve body. The Jeep is still under warranty.
I was curious to know if replacing the transmission value body actually solved the problem because as you indicted earlier there are a lot of Jeepers who have this issue and do some electrical work arounds: Fuses, Can modules, etc.
I was going to do some electrical work arounds to avoid having the ESC issues but the dealer advised me not to. Unfortunately, not sure if I can believe them based on the last 3 weeks of trying to get this sorted out with them and long story boring, I was curious to know if replacing the transmission valve body actually solved the ESC and check engine light warnings?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
