Need some help from Technicians
I have an 05 Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7 and I keep getting the dash warning "Service Electric Brake System" along with "Traction Control Off light". It turns on about 3 mins after starting the car everytime and even if you havn't moved yet. I have checked all the jeep forums and it sounds like a common issue but i'm yet to find a sure fix. I also have an 07 Ram and this site has helped me many times so I figured I would give it a shot.
Please anyone that's a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep technician or anyone who knows the issue please help!!

Here is a TSB I found. This may help. But I do need a little more information, such as stored codes either in the ABS module or the FDCM.

OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) with new software.

NOTE: **This bulletin applies to the HB/HG/WK/WH/XK/XH/KJ vehicles equipped
with a 3.7L, 4.7L or 5.7L engine (sales code EKG, EVA, EVD, EZB or EZA).**
NOTE: **This bulletin applies to the DR vehicles equipped with a 5.7L engine (sales

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer may experience a premature and momentary activation of the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) system. The premature activation of the ESP system may or may
not be accompanied with the illumination of the ESP indicator lamp located in the
instrument cluster. The customer may experience the momentary ESP system activation
on a “clover leaf” type turn, at speeds of approximately 25 to 40 MPH (40 to 64 KPH). This
could also be described as a lack of throttle response or hesitation. Driving over speed
bumps at a slight angle can also cause the same ESP event accompanied by lack of
throttle response. The customer may also complain of low idle speed.
The customer may also experience MIL for one of the following Diagnostic Trouble Code:
i. P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit - Bank 1 Sensor 1
ii. P0344 - Camshaft Position Sensor Intermittent - Bank 1 Sensor 1
iii. P0116 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Performance
