Took my Jeep out the other day for the first time, at approx. 400K on it.
Snow and some light mud was par for the couple of hours I was out.
The ABS and Traction Control lights came on, not sure just when in the trip. (having to much fun to notice)
On the way out is when I noticed, decided to do brake check to see if ABS was working, it was not.
Stopped at a place to have lunch, when coming out after the lights were out.
Suspect snow or whatever covered a sensor?
If that is the case is there a way to stop this from happening?

After lunch noticed the check engine light was on.
Everything seemed fine, drove home and parked.
Approx. 2hr later started it back up and light was clear.
Any ideas?

400K on it?

Did you check all the fuses and make sure they were all seated properly?

Oh gotcha.

Mine did that at 700 miles. I made sure the fuses were seated properly and some weren't. Now at 12000 miles without any electrical issues.

Try that first, easy enough to do. Hope that's all it is.

Had the same set of lights come on a few week ago on my new Nacho with 600mls on it. Checked my fuses and discovered that most of them were not seated... after seating haven't seen the lights again. Did I read that correctly, 2021 and you have 400K miles on it. If so your lucky to have any lights come on.....lol

If it's not a fuse issue I'd say it's almost definitely a wheel speed sensor.

I had the same issue first time I went wheeling with mine. The next day everything was fine and it hasn't happened since the seating of the fuses. Hopefully yours is the same.
