Christmas tree on the dash

I‘ve had this 2010 Sport since December and the vehicle drives great. I think my Commander likes Christmas year-round, however.

Could this possibly be a bad wheel speed sensor or something else?

Yeah, that’s the only light I don’t care about.

Hows your alignment? Only time ive had those two lights on without a check engine light is the steering wheel being off-center.

If it's not that, IDK what you expect anyone to tell you by this picture alone lol. Just buy a 10 dollar bluetooth OBD plug in from amazon, buy the JSCAN app and find out the codes yourself :)

Thanks, Bryan.

I do have a pretty nice code reader but wasn’t pulling any significant codes until this week. It was a stored code indicating an issue with the steering angle sensor.

Then guess no more! The steering angle code is 100% alignment issue.

And normal obd apps only pull generic codes from the engine computer. Thats why you need to buy the jscan app that can access all the systems in the jeep. Theres also alfaOBD or appcar FCU for PC

Ended up taking it to the Jeep dealership. Turns out it was the clock spring. $1100 and fixed.

Wow, a clock spring?? Thats one of those "its either just an alignment OR a thousand dollar part". Never heard of one go out unless the alignment went so out of spec that it overspun the steering wheel
