Default ABS ESP Lights Stay ON

I need some help guys.

Recently a couple of dash lights stay on and are giving me some grief.
The ABS, ESP and BAS lights come on not long after start up and stay on. I have also heard a couple of clunks from underneath when going slow. It sounds like it is trying to disengage low range or similar.
She still drives fine but the brakes feel different too. I've heard it could be as simple as a wheel sensor.
Any ideas what could be causing this to happen. Not really keen to go to stealership unless i absolutely have to.
Thanks in advance.

You have a faulty wheel speed sensor.
The noise you are hearing is the ABS system grabbing and releasing trying to determine the wheel speed.

If you have QDII it could also be activating the diff solenoids.
You can remove the fuse labeled "FDCM eLSD" to disable them if you need to drive in the mean-time.

Thanks Clarky. I was hoping someone would tell me that. I didnt want it to be the FDCM or anything like that. Im guessing though that ill still have to scan it to see which one it is.

Bit of a coincidence, just fixed a similar issue in my jk. It may also be a wiring fault as it was in mine. The wires leading to the sensor pulled loose and were severed when they got squished between the rear bumpstop.

Soldered in a new (and rerouted) section and all good. If you can get it scanned it will narrow down which wires to check into. If tge wiring is all good, as others have said, its probably the sensor itself.

Most phone apps will tell you which sensor (but that's about it )

Can concur with the others, I had the exact same lights come on a little while back and after a good wash around the sensors with a high pressure hose it just went away after a few more drives.
