Problem overview

Some Jeep Grand Cherokee owners report experiencing issues with the electronic stability control (ESC) system, as indicated by the ESC warning light remaining illuminated. This warning light can signal a malfunction in the ESC system due to various conditions, including slick road situations where the vehicle may not be under control. Common causes for the "Service Electronic Stability Control" alert include faulty wheel speed sensors, misaligned steering, throttle body problems, or electrical issues. It is crucial for owners to address the ESC warning promptly to maintain vehicle safety and functionality, as the system can engage the brakes and reduce engine power to help regain traction. Additionally, some owners find that the warning light persists even after replacing a failed component, which may suggest a defective new part or sensor/module. Following the dealer's recommendations for diagnosis and resolution is advised to ensure the vehicle's ongoing performance and safety.
