When does the ABS and Traction Light Come On?
For me it happens when I first start the motor and drive out then the brakes come on by themself for short intermediate 1-2 sec intervals about 3-5 times then both abs and slick roads light comes on. After about 2-3 mins it goes away and drives fine. Also noticed brake fluid was slightly lower by about an inch adding brake fluid did not resolve it.
Where can I find the ABS code on my Jeep?

Why are the ABS and traction control lights on?
While driving today both the abs and traction control lights came on. I shut the vehicle off and restarted, it came back on again and when they are on I have no cruise control. I cleared codes using my procal but it doesn’t tell me what the codes are, after doing so the lights came back on again. Any idea what this is?

When any of your tires have low tire pressure, the ECU ends up sensing an abnormal speed. It may send off inaccurate or flawed information to the ABS or Traction Control, which inadvertently activates their warning signals.

Steering Angle Sensor The steering angle sensor is one of, if not the most, common causes of the ESP BAS light to come on. As mentioned above, make sure to turn the steering wheel twice to the right, twice to the left, and finally back to the center. This resets the steering angle sensor in your Wrangler.
How to turn off the traction control light?
Remove the sensor, and you should see the tip covered in grime. Spray some brake cleaner on a rag, and then take the rag and wipe off the sensor tip. Re-install the wheel speed sensor, and test drive. As you drive down the road, the lights should go off and everything will be good to go.
