JK Esc Light

[Shawn]

So right after I installed the 4" tera lift the steering wheel was turned almost half way to go straight. On the first drive the Electronic Stability Control light came on. After the alignment was completed, all was good. Now its back on a week after the alignment. I read prior to taking it to get alignment that the light can come on if the steering wheel is turned, like it was before the alignment. But now everything is straight.

Any ideas?

You might have boogered a wheel sensor. Those suckers are easy to damage, and cause all sorts of problems.

 

[Shawn]

Didn't think of that, I assume they are on the rear?

 

[Hickey]

Each wheel has its own sensor.

 

[TJDukit]

Yeah each wheel has one. I think I paid maybe 20 bucks each for mine when they went. They really are pretty easy to damage.

After doing some good research, our steering wheel may still be off just s bit. I'll take it a drive and see for my self (wife Jeep) then adjust as needed.

Thanks,

The AEV programmer I had has a setting that will help you align the steering wheel. It turned one marker light on to the side you needed to adjust it to and then lit both lights when it was aligned. Kind of a handy feature

Whoa, that is sweet.

Whoa, that is sweet.

It also accounted for gear ratio changes and tire size. Kind of a funky interface to use (dip switches) but was very effective.

I was actually looking at the Super Chips version. Has the ability to add 30 HP & Torque

The sheer quantity of wheel speed sensors that failed on the JKX Alaska trip was mind blowing. Every time we turned around there were two to three rigs crippled with those stupid sensors. If someone were to make a computer to spoof the wheel speed sensors, they would make a fortune!
