Traction Control and Check Engine Light
Hoping somebody else has seen this before because it doesn't quite make sense to me. Was drivin down the road a few minutes ago and my traction control light and check engine light both popped on at the same time. Didn't have time to get to the dealership before they closed so I pulled in the auto parts store parking lot to get the code read. P0344 I believe was the code( camshaft position sensor circuit intermittent). Not sure what that has to do with traction control though. When I started it back up, traction control light was off but still check engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Could be just a computer hiccup. If it is, the check engine light should go out after 3 good trips.
Or, you could turn it off with a code reader. See if it comes right back on.

Well it happened yesterday also but I lost all power from the motor. Put the pedal to the floor and got nothing. Pulled over and turned it off and restarted it and everything was fine after that. Didn't think anymore about it. I'm quite tech savvy but this one has me puzzled haha thanks for the input by the way. Everyone on this forum is much nicer and more helpful than the 5th gen camaro forum I use to be a member of.

It's a 2010. Bought it used about a month ago. Heading to the dealer in the morning. Thought I'd try and get some ammo to use in case they try to give me the run around haha

Traction Control and Check Engine Light
Is anybody else having this issue or can shed some light on what the problem was?
I have a 2012 JKU and had the same problem. Traction Control and Check Engine Light came on and loss of power.

This happened to me today. Traction control and CEL. Turned it off and restarted and traction light went out. I still seem to have full power but I did just have the engine replaced due to burning oil. Mine is a 2010 53k miles/ 200 miles on new engine. Warranty won't cover the camshaft sensor. Any ideas what else it could be?

Having same problem
I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering what the outcome was when all of you had this problem. It happened to me this morning. I have a 2012 JKU with a 4" lift on 37s. Throttle body spacer, Airaid intake and complete Magnaflow exhaust, 31,000 miles. I usually ride with my Traction Control off since it sways alot due to the lift & tires and our roads arent that great. I had Traction Control turned off this morning. Got about 4 miles from my house and the Check Engine Light came on along with the Traction Control light. I live in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains so its hilly over here. I noticed that when I would go to climb a small hill on the road, i had no power. Held pedal to the floor & nothing! Once I got to work, I turned the Jeep off, started it up again & the Check Engine Light is still on but not the Traction Control light. I went around the block & it has regained power. Just really strange.
