Out of nowhere, the traction control on my 2015 JK has started to kick in even when on completely dry pavement / going in a straight line / at low speeds. I'm concerned a sensor of some variety may have gone bad, but i'm wondering if there is any sort of system reset that might help or if others have ideas before i go the dealership route. Any thoughts would be appreciated - thanks.
 
Did you just do a lift ?

Do you have to move your steering wheel back and forth while driving because of play in the steering?

Can you check your OBD II codes? When you say the traction control kicks in, do you mean the light in the dash goes on?

That can make your traction control activate if your having to move the steering wheel back and forth any to keep going straight.

That makes sense. I don’t know what has led to the increased play in the steering - certainly no event that stuck out as potentially creating an issue w the steering or suspension - so it seems like I just need to get it on a rack / have it looked at.

Anything that's associated with the front axle and steering gearbox will cause that.
