ABS and tracktion light
I know there must be a a lot of thread about it but I cant seem to find it
What is the problem and what will be the solution? The lights are on every time I turn on the engine...The brakes are new

I'm having the same problem. No error codes from the computer, haven't lifted the Jeep. Does anyone know if there is a way to figure out what the problem is with out taking it to the dealer?

Although a common cause for this is a faulty wheel sensor (or loose wiring going to it), in my case it was the ABS pump that went bad; had the pump and control module replaced under warranty.
Before taking it in to the dealer, you can get down and check the wiring & connectors to each wheel sensor as sometimes the wires get ripped out by obstacles and even just mud or snow. The fact that the brakes are new points to a wheel sensor being the culprit as they are housed in the brake calipers & one of them could have been damaged or disconnected during the pad replacement.
