Problem overview

Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing issues with both the traction control and check engine lights illuminating simultaneously, often accompanied by engine stalling and auto stick malfunction. These problems can stem from fuel and ignition system issues, such as bad gas or water in the gas tank, which are common causes of engine stalling. Additionally, faulty throttle bodies or ignition coils may trigger the check engine light and contribute to stalling. The traction control light may indicate a malfunction in the traction control system, potentially caused by faulty wheel speed sensors or low tire pressure, and can be exacerbated by engine performance problems like misfires. Furthermore, some owners experience auto stick malfunctions, where the throttle is reduced and the feature becomes unresponsive, likely due to throttle body or transmission issues. It is essential for owners facing these symptoms to diagnose and resolve these interconnected problems promptly.
