    Hi,
    I have a 2015 wrangler sport. My traction and abs lights come on randomly when making sharp turns at low speed (pulling into parking space) they stay on about 20 seconds and then turn off. there is no change in function of the vehicle. Is this happening to anyone else? Anyone know what could be causing this.
    Thanks.

    if the light comes there is a code saved, this will help ID the issue the PCM is seeing.

    The ABS & traction control systems piggy back on the same sensors... I often see codes and ESC codes, related to steering wheel center position sensor when these pop up, especially on wranglers, BUT that is a guess.

    The system will need to be scanned, a good scanner is needed as these may not be conventional "P" series codes.

    Sorry no quick answer, such is the world of computers - we need to interrogate them and that requires a scanner. :(

    Interrogate them with a hammer. I wish. My friend who owns purser automotive in Denton told me today he just got the last pcm Chrystler had for 04,05,06 TJ and it didn't even come on. 1300 dollar paper weight. It is a 06 Rubicon that is broke. This is going to give me nightmares.

    Welcome @bluejeepgirl ... get the code(s) identified at most auto parts stores free like Advance auto. Post them up for evaluation. Could be as simple as a wheel speed sensor
