You’ll need to figure out why the ESP BAS light turned on in the first place before you can turn it off.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Cause 1: Defective Brake Switch<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Fix: Step 1:<\/span><\/b> Try to reset it by manually pushing the switch’s plunger <\/span>
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Step 2<\/span><\/b>: Alternatively, you can also tape a small object to the brake pedal arm to keep the switch engaged. But this is a temporary solution.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Step 3<\/span><\/b>: The be-all and end-all solution is replacing the switch. Locate the switch behind the brake pedal, disconnect the wiring harness, rotate and remove the old switch, and install the new one in reverse order.<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cause 2: Defective Wheel Speed Sensors<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Fix: Step 1: <\/span><\/b>Park on a level surface and safely lift and support the vehicle to remove the wheel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Step 2<\/span><\/b>: Locate and unplug the sensor\u2019s electrical connector. Unbolt and remove the old sensor and clean the mounting area.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0Step 3<\/span><\/b>: Install the new sensor, reconnect the electrical connector, and reassemble the wheels. Always make sure to test the vehicle after.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cause 3: Defective Steering Angle Sensors<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Fix: Step 1: <\/span><\/b>Turn on the Jeep engine.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Step 2<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0Now, turn the steering wheel to the right until it stops and then to the left until it stops.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Step 3<\/span><\/b>:\u00a0Finally, return the steering wheel to the center so the tire will face forward, turn off the engine and then restart it. Then, take your vehicle for a drive.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip: <\/span><\/b>While it\u2019s easy to fix an illuminated ESP BAS light, if you\u2019re someone with no automotive knowledge, it\u2019s better to seek professional help.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
