This video just saved me a ton of stress on my brand new Gladiator. Thank you for this. I just took it wheeling for the first time ever. Ended up scraping skid plates and feeling like my truck was broken. Imagine my horror when the steering wheel was off and my brand new truck was throwing the ESC error. 15 mins in the garage later and we’re good to go again. Thanks again!!

Thank you for the Great Info... Traction Control Light ONLY on? Follow this. Fixed up My JK 2 Door after Lift and Adjusting my front Axle position. Was just enough to make it come on and stay on. Drove it all the way to work, light stayed on... BUT... when I came out to Drive Home (next ignition cycle) It cleared and turned off. Don’t jump to conclusions if it is ONLY the Traction (ESC) light. - Takes A bit of a drive 5KM say. Traction Light AND an ABS Light - That is a wheel sensor - Different. Best Video on this Fix. Thanks Northridge!!!

Just installed a Dynatrac ProRock 44 in my Gladiator today. The steering wheel was not centered but coming from the TJ world I didn't think anything about it. Tried to drive it which was a big mistake. ESC and ABS fought me all the way home. Kinda scary to drive. Watched this video and got it fixed by adjusting my steering drag link. Thank you!!!

This video was great! explained exactly what i needed to do. Took my JL to get alignment a few months ago to a local shop and slow noticed my steering wheel was getting off centered more and more. Then my ESC light comes on. Just checked after watching your video and come to find out that shop never tightened back up that 15mm bolt!! so its been getting loose slowly but surely. Adjusted the drag link and bomb!! problem fixed! thanks for the help!!

OMG! Thankyou so much for this!!! After adding a new bumper and winch to the front end of my Gladiator, it went down 1/2 inch. I added 1 inch spacers on the front springs and this light came on. My steering is off a little so this totally makes sense. Thank you so much for this walk through and why it happens. No trip to the dealer for me. LOL

2018 wrangler jk , when rear end shimmy’s or bounces around as one would do on a gravel road - will cause engine light then ESC light then throws Jeep into LIMP mode. Any help much appreciated. RHD mail carrier 15 yrs +
@northridgenation
3 жыл бұрын
If it goes into limp mode, then there should be codes thrown. If the ESC mode is turning on over rough terrain, that will throttle the engine back, making it feel like you have no power. Turn the traction control off. Except on the JK, you can't fully turn the traction control off, the only way to do that is to unplug the J7 fuse or install a kill switch.

How hard was it to adjust the factory draglink? I'm having a hard time getting it to move and correct the steering wheel. I must mention, I also installed an adjustable Teraflex track bar. I'm wondering if that has something to do with not being able to move draglink adjuster? Should be put it on a lift? Any help on this would greatly be appreciated. Awsome video!
@northridgenation
4 жыл бұрын
Jose, we had no problems at all adjusting the factory draglink. It could be tough if your is rusted. The track bar doesn't interfere with the draglink adjustment, it only locates the axle side to side under the frame. You can't adjust it on a lift, the vehicle needs to be sitting at static height. If you lift it up, the axle will drop making the steering wheel even more offset.

I have the same blue gladiator, only has 32K. However, my jeep just goes into limp mode and the esc comes on and the truck just shut off!! and wont restart and and i have to tow it to the dealership every time!!. I have only changed the from bumper only on my jeep so far. I do believe the steering is slightly off a bit.

It'll be a bit different with the IFS in your Grand Cherokee, but the theory is the same. If you've lifted your Cherokee and the steering wheel is off, you need to recenter the steering wheel by adjusting your steering linkage.

If your steering wheel is straight and you have have gone out and driven it for a few miles and it is still on, then you might have a bigger problem. Check with your dealer.
