I’m going to start a new thread on this because I feel like I hijacked another thread by mistake. Sorry about that guys. I’m making this new one becasue I haven’t seen a thread that includes the brake light as well.
I recently bought a 2006 KJ that had the ABS, ESP/BAS, and traction control lights on. The Jeep drove like a top, didn’t have a speck of rust, 4WD was strong, and got a heck of a deal on it. I figured I could self-diagnose the lights and feel good about the deal.
Since the cheap-o OBD readers don’t read ABS related codes, I took it to O’Reilys to get a scan. Here’s the codes I got:
-C102B (ABS) “Right Rear Wheel Sensor Circuit”
-U1418 (ECM) “Implausible Right Wheel Distance Signal Received”
-C2102 (Steering Angle Sensor) “System Voltage Low”
I did a ton of research on the lights, mostly from this forum, and the first repair I landed on was the wheel speed sensors. I replaced both sides with OEM replacements and took it down the road a few miles but no luck. Second round of research took me to the wiring itself. I checked all wiring that I could get to and stripped away the protective plastic and didn’t find any rubs, kinks, or disconnections. Since I was getting code info from the right rear sensor, I went ahead and bought a new connector for the wheel speed sensor and spliced it in. Took it down the road, still no luck.
I still drive the Jeep occasionally, mostly on weekends, but don’t want to go to ******* it just in case it may further complicate the issues. Again, it runs like new. But recently, the brake light has also been coming on (the light that illuminates when the E-brake is engaged) and turning back off after some driving. I can’t find any info for the new symptom.
My next guess is maybe the tone ring is damaged or failed? I was also told on another post it could be the clockspring, but not exactly sure. Any help is appreciated guys thanks for reading.

TL;DR - dash is lit up like a Christmas tree. ABS/ESP/TC issues. Send help or beer for the shop.
