Ok.. that's probably what I will end up doing. I am mechanically inclined but when it comes to electrical it muss well be in chinese. BTW I checked and didn't see any blatantly lose wires

As mentioned, if the Air Bag light comes on that is typically a steering wheel clock spring related problem. An ABS light and a traction control light instead, that typically points to a wheel speed sensor problem. The clock spring is a known JK problem. Others have reported that it can be triggered by turning the steering wheel hard right or left. I'm guessing that may have been the OP's situation when going into the ditch. If it hasn't come back on, then there's no worry aside from giving you an indication that a clock spring repair may likely be on your horizon.

I had that problem and it was the speed sensor. Easy fix, replaced them all and kept the 3 that weren't damaged (the codes told me precisely which one it was, guy at AutoZone was surprised I called it before he tested it but I told him I only wanted to know if it said which one it was and it did). Granted, it may be something else. Enjoy finding out what.

my Silverado did the same after a trip into the snow bank. it was a wheel speed sensor. Don't know about jeeps but on a chev you have to change the whole wheel bearing as the sensor is integral with the bearing.

Speed sensors in the Jeep are plug and play (they are held in place by a bolt and you merely unplug the old and plug in the new). There are even great YouTubes to see what you're up against. One thing about the Jeep is it is pretty user friendly. I have forgotten how more challenging other vehicles can be to work on.
