I discovered if your steering wheel is not centered properly, sometimes the ESP will think you're in a skid and will chime briefly. I've spotted my dash light flash for a nanosecond when this happens.

One of the first mods I did with my 2011 JKU was to pop out the instrument cluster and surgically remove the chiming beast with pliers! There is a terrific write up somewhere with lots of pictures and advice. As nervous as I was when I did this to a brand new vehicle, I have never regretted it. The radio can be played with the doors open and no obnoxious reminder for the seat belts which I ALWAYS wear. I say go for it!

I'm not saying that's it but that's when I started noticing mine... I've been monitoring my trans oil temp like others mentioned above on recalls from Chrysler but my temp never exceeds 175ish sometimes 180 or so if I'm wheeling hard.
I'm installing a generic trans cooler from B&M sometime in the next couple of weeks just to be safe.

I am going to got down a different road here. I got mine out on some rough washboard roads this weekend and got the "mystery Chime". I was mostly in 2wd and it has been indicated to me that it is probably the traction control chime because of the washboard. ?? Seems to make sense ??
