Top Reasons for ESS failure

That first error...not the second. Mine is behaving better. Please let everyone know what the dealer finds out - I am going to give my dealer a list of things I've checked when I turn my truck in. Otherwise, it might take too much time.

Thanks.

Will do. I got another error message today which caused the whole Jeep to shake and seize. Vehicle is towed to the dealership so I’ll follow up on whether it’s all related

Did the shaking feel like individual wheels braking at different rates perhaps?

Nope it felt and sounded like the transmission was falling apart. Hopefully service will be able to figure it out

Oh that’s no good. Hope you get it sorted out.

New Information on my ESS failure. I had my Jeep serviced today and the mechanic identified the problem as relating to a clutch pedal switch that was not "correlated" to the system and thus required a "correlation correction" to prevent the fault. Obviously, the ESS is tied to a number of sensors to make sure it would work, including the clutch pedal, battery voltage, etc.

The major annoyance with my issue was the disabling of cruise control when it failed.

I hope this fixes the problem.

UPDATE: One week hence, no additional codes or errors.

UPDATE: One month hence, the problem is back with regularity. So once it triggers a code, the ESS fails more easily.
