Had a similar issue with my 09 Ram and it ended up being a bad wheel speed sensor. But with the steering wheel being off, I agree that probably is the issue.
Before you throw more parts or work at something that could have multiple causes, it might be worth while to have the error lights diagnosed. Not sure if an auto parts store OBOII scanner will work or to take it into a dealership. If it was a wheel speed sensor, the dealership should be able to tell you which one so you are not trying to figure out which one (or more) of the 4 sensors are bad.

35,600 miles (warranty over soon).
Speedo went to zero, traction light, abs light, and ebrake light all came on and heard a chime about 2 times. This occured ten times. Took it in, the replaced the wireless control module. Afterwards the low tire pressure liggt was constantly on. They had to reprogram the tire pressure sensors to the control module. All was fine.
Since then I wired in an ESP kill switch.
Two or three weeks later the same thing happened once. I flipped the ESP kill switch, pulled over, shut off and restarted the jeep. That was a two weeks ago and been fine since.
Sound like a clock spring or no?
I have an appointed to take it into the dealer in 6 hours.
Take it to dealer....Yay or nay????

Today was the appointment for the jeep. Dropped it off. Got a loaner. Got to mcfarland. Flat tire. Called and was told I had to change it. I wanted home so I tried. Took off my jacket and work shirt for obvious reasons. Cold dirty and greasy I find a locking lug nut and no key for it. Call back and theyre sending a tow. Also said there are no stored codes so they cant do anything to the jeep
