From time to time mine does the same thing. It is usually after a drive through slushy conditions.I feel that snow/slush is getting in between the sensor and the axle. When my ball joint were replaced, Bobby told me that grease and debris is filling the grooves and giving an incorrect reading. Axle shafts become magnatized too, giving false readings. It could also be a bad sensor. As stated, my light comes on once a week or so in crappy/snowy weather. Get it looked at if you like. When the light is on go to the dealer to get them to scan it. Don't turn your JEEP off when you get there.Good luck .

When that happens on my Dakota (hasn't in quite a while), I just unplug the ABS computer, then plug it back in. If it was a temporary problem, this resets the computer, and it works again. Service manager at Clare Dodge showed me that trick.
