ABS lights and traction lights all come on
 

So here i am driving out of my garage in my 2011 JK Wrangler and on comes the Orange traction light ABS etc.
this has come on below briefly when a wheel senses a lost sync. but this time the lights stay on ! i have a unot to detect eroor codes .. nothing detected ,,
car drives fine with no other issues .. some say its a wheel alignment ? yes/no ..

Wheel speed sensor.
And you have a shit code reader.

yes there were TPS errors i can see those .. wonder how to reset ?

i tried resetting all ECUs but came back

i actually have the TPS warning sensor turned off - so this erros seem to over ride

Could also be that a wheel bearing is on its way out throwing up codes related to the sensor.
If so you can disconnect it and drive but will leave to lights on the dash until you fix the issue.
Got that on mine around 120,000Km's

Resetting will depend on the code reader you have, and it's software. What sort do you have?

I have 2 OBD2 plugins. One is a basic eBay one that just reads codes & data with generic software, eg. Torque. The other was a much more expensive one (Bluedriver, ~$100 at the time?) which can read and reset codes through it's Android, (and presumably iOS), app. Yours may not have those features.

From memory, I got the Bluedriver because the cheaper ones didn't read the ABS module for codes & I was chasing a fault in that. I had a bad sensor & was trying to figure out which one it was. There are others that can do the same things, some may be cheaper now.

As for the lights, is your steering wheel centred when you are driving in a straight line? It's normal to be a few degrees off due to road camber, (+/- up to 4 degrees for me), but too far will make the ABS computer think you are cornering, but the yaw sensor will tell it you aren't, & that signal conflict can trigger the lights as well. Which is why wheel alignment is the first suspect. It's quick & easy to check for free, like that.

An app like J scan will tell you which sensor is faulty and once you replace it the code will clear itself.

J-scan will also clear codes.
