If you want to try the steering wheel dance anyway, here you go:
To avoid false Electronic Stability Program (ESP) activations sometimes caused by larger tires and modified suspension, the system can be disabled. To keep people from unintentionally disabling ESP, it takes quite a few steps. Start with the engine off, the vehicle stopped, the steering wheel straight, the front tires pointing straight forward and the transfer case in 4H.
Turn the ignition key from off to on (you can start the engine if you want) and wait about five seconds, which is just after the chiming stops. Most of the dash warning lights will turn off, as shown. Turn the steering wheel between the 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock position and then recenter it, holding it still for a few seconds. Now turn the steering wheel 180 degrees clockwise. The word Jeep should be upside down in the center of the steering wheel. It is very important that you do not let the wheel slip backward at all once you move it into position.
Hold the steering wheel in position. Press and hold the ESP Off button for seven seconds. There will be a chime at five seconds, but hold the button for the full seven seconds. Then turn the steering wheel back to center, and then a little more than 180 degrees counter-clockwise. The word Jeep will once again be upside down in the center of the steering wheel. Remember not to let the steering wheel back up once you move it into position. You may or may not hear chimes - ignore them.
Press and hold the ESP Off button for seven seconds. Then turn the wheel back to center (with the word Jeep right side up and the wheels pointing straight). Press and hold the ESP Off button one more time for another seven seconds. Turn the ignition key to off. If you did it correctly, "ESP Off" will show in the instrument cluster below the tachometer for a few seconds each time the ignition is turned on, and the ESP light will stay on.
