Default ABS/ESP lights... no luck fixing it now what?

My ABS/ESP lights have been coming on and off intermittently for a while now. Since the past few days it has just stayed on.

I got odometer code U 1417, implausible left wheel distance.

I replaced the front and rear wheel speed sensor. Did nothing. Even managed to break the rear connector, hooray extra $40.


Am I pretty much forced to take this to the dealership?


I have a 2011 JKU sport, 45000 miles. Its unreal that a vehicle with 45000 miles has any problems let alone expensive ones to repair (not the first problem ive had so far). These things are built like absolute garbage.

is the steering wheel centered? did you lift it recently or take it offroad? Only time i've had this problem is when the alignment is off...

sucks your having so many problems.

X2 if you have a procal (and I assume most any other programmer) you can center the steering wheel. If your sensors are good now that should be the fix

I see you have two threads going on this topic. Check your unit bearings.
