BRAKE and DTC warning lights (please help?)
Video of error lights:
On a highway trip this weekend, about an hour into the trip, I had some dash lights come on. I haven't noticed any changes in performance or anything else for that matter. I pulled the codes from my JB4 and got 2AAF (which I think I've had for quite some time now and is unrelated). I'm of course out of warranty and I am supposed to be selling the car in 3 days, on Saturday. I need to fix these issues before I'm able to sell the car. Anyone have any experiences with these issues? Thanks a ton. |

Have you done any suspension/bushing upgrades recently? Hit any bad potholes etc? Its probably suspension related. I think those errors typically mean the DSC has disabled itself. You might want to get the alignment checked. The steering angle sensor also causes this but usually it just has to be reset.
I had something similar happen after installing subframe bushings. The car drove fine and got no errors then two weeks later I got lights. I wound up dropping the subframe to inspect everything then rebolted it up and never got the errors again. |

I've had these pop up on mine along with a hill start when I messed around with my suspension/alignment.
Try resetting the steering wheel angle sensor.. Turn the car on steering wheel full lock left steering wheel full lock right center steering wheel drive straight |

No, I haven't messed with the suspension at all. I did reinstall the OEM wheels a couple of weeks ago and I did hit a pretty bad pot hole a few days before the lights started. One thing I didn't mention in my original post is that my car started pulling real hard to the right on this trip as well. |

Any news on what fixed this??? Been dealing with it for a little over a year now and they now remain on after only being occasional before. My car is slightly out of alignment but I'm pretty sure it wasn't when they first started coming on and I've done the reset a million times without success. Another poster is having the issues and got a reply from someone stating it cost him over $1000 to fix the angle sensor.....I personally think he got taken and am curious if an alignment will resolve the issue as I am due for one and tires.
