Default Sway Bar and Traction Lights on??

2012 Rubi - at seemingly random times both lights (and the chime) come on for a second then turn off. Flat straight road, hilly twisting highway and everything in between. This doesn't happen every trip. I disconnected and reconnected the Sway Bar then visually inspected to make sure it was connected.

No lift, same 285's since day one, alignment and tire pressure are good, steering wheel is centered.

Thoughts? Symptom of clock spring trouble? What else?

Make sure ur plugs are secure on the sway bar and ur wheel sensors. Make sure mud isn't caked up on them too....clean them up that may help. If the lights are turning on and back off, something is throwing a "soft" code. A scan tool should still be able to read the code as long as u don't shut it jeep off before connecting scanner

Yep, checking that too. The latest instance today was all the dash lights and chime coming on, then off. Doing a little research, I know others have had this fairly recently.

Similiar problem, in shop 5 weeks, yes, 5 weeks, replaced everything electrical discovered when it still would not correct it was the alternator, driven about 200 miles, it appears fixed!

Low voltage problem casing, I got new cluster, module, wiring, and demo car. Dealer never gave up!

Thanks for the info. My dealer checked mine out last week. No codes thrown and of course no lights came on while they had it....
