A few lights have popped up on my moms Liberty's dashboard for a while and I was hoping you guys could help out.

What does ESPBAS mean? What does the light between the speedometer and the tachometer mean? Also when we drive for about an hour above 40 MPH a little on the over head console pops up that says check TPM system, what is the TPM system and how do we check it? I reading around a little I found that you have to have someone check that for you with a special sensor or tool but I'm not exactly sure.

Any help is appreciated!

I have no idea what ESPBAS means, but I do believe the light between the tach and speedometer is a traction control light.

TPM is tire pressure monitor, one of her tires is probably low. Usually it's the spare.

Check that and then disconnect the battery for 10 minutes to reset the ECU and see what lights come on. This may relate to the traction control light too.

My jk owners manual say the tpm doesn't reset until all tires are over 35 psi.

ESP is also a trac light, I you have an ABS/Trac fail it will set all those light
TPMS will not set a trac.
1st thing you need is a Mopar diag scanner !

The light with the fishtail along with the esp part indicates the electronic stability system is disengaged. This happens in my JK when I am in 4 low, but there is also a switch. Check those possibilities first.

I have the same thing happen in our Forester- put air in the tires and you should be set. If we go below 32psi the lights pop on.

Last time I had similar lights come on with my JK, I had a sensor wire come loose on the front axle. plugged it back in, disconnected the battery and waited a couple minutes and reconnected it and the lights went away.
