Jeep throwing codes

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with a 5.5" Teraflex long arm kit, 5:38 gears, and 40" tires. After the gear swap the Jeep started breaking from the abs system at random and the ABS and Traction Control lights came on. It went on for a while and I replaced the wheel spotted sensors. Didn't fix the lights so I pulled the fuses. I had a rear axle bearing replaced and thought that may have been the issue so I put the fuses back in.
The jeep is now in limp mode. I might add that the battery has been draining.(may be part of it may not) The codes are listed in the attachment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to WAYALIFE. Lots going on there. Should stop by the wave section and introduce yourself. Doing so will likely get you some helpful advice from the folks here.
 
Welcome to Wayalife. Might want to introduce yourself. I see you have JScan app. Did you recalibrate for gears and tire size?

Worn unit bearings can cause the problems you describe. I would not be surprised if yours are worn, running 40s.

I will check that out! The issue began once the hearts went in but it was just the lights and the TC would kick in if I was offroad and getting in the throttle. It is in limp mode now, just all of a sudden.

Not that it solves the problem, which I agree with the guys above that it’s more than likely a unit bearing and a rear sensor or contractor issue, but I would definitely wire in a abs/tc kill switch. It would more than likely get you out if limp mode and back to your garage. It’s a good insurance idea to get you home

He can disable with JScan app also. Recently updated the kill switch is at the bottom of the trail view screen. Works great

Well, that’s a lot easier than pulling the center console and cutting the purple wire with a light blue stripe next to the purple wire with the dark blue stripe with out screwing it up 🤣

It’s more work up front and I did cut the wrong wire first cuz I couldn’t tell the difference between the 2 purple wires, but I’d rather flip a switch than plug in the JScan and start looking thru the app. Personal choice, but good to see there’s 3 options.

I do love having the switch on mine, especially in the snow on the trail. It really makes. Big difference in 4 high

I feel you. I almost did the switch too but I use the app to watch trans temps and stuff on the trail so it’s already connected. I am stoked the put it at the bottom of the trail view section now. Quick and easy.

It’s a nice option for those who can’t or don’t want to install a switch or pull the J6 fuse (least desirable IMO)
If you drive with the JScan on anyway, it’s a tap on your phone. Nice. I like it.
