Default ABS and traction control lights

K all last week I had my ABS, ESP, and the bad lights come on. I replaced the ABS/brake sensor and they went off. They came on again again and then replaced the drivers side today. They didn't go off this time.
Does anyone have any ideas or had this problem??
This is all on the front suspension.

I had this problem on my way to get my Jeep aligned after lift. It was because toe-in was off.

Have you done any mods to suspension ? Is your steering wheel centered ? If not that could cause that , jeep thinks it's going into skid !

This is soooo true. I had no idea my jeep had a sensor in the steering wheel. Found out the hard way but it was an easy fix

I dont always drive where others cant. but when I do, its in my Jeep. Stay muddy my friends

I'm really thankful for all of the info. I'm going to reset the steering wheel tomorrow and also check the M37 fuse. Like I said I've replaced both front sensors and hopefully this will fix it. I will keep informed after I reset.

Did you find the solution? I just replaced my dash frame which required me to strip everything out to the firewall and when I put everything back together, my ABS and TC lights will not go off. My brake lights are constantly on too... Not sure what I did wrong when I put everything back together, but I am almost certain it must be a loose ground or connection somewhere...
