So just finished my lift and took the truck for a test drive, as soon as I got in I noticed the traction control light was on. I drove a little by and it went off, figured the system was resetting due to the abs wires bent disconnected. Got in the truck this morning and the light is back on. Might I have messed up the wires? I double checked the connections they are plugged in tight.

Sounds like you could have pinched a wire or pulled the wire on the plug hard enough that it's not making a contact even though it's plugged in tight.

Is there a way to test which one may be bad?

Just wanted to make sure I had it right, The ABS sensor provides information on wheel spin thus activating the traction control correct? Asking because my TCL is on but the ABS light has not come on at all. I have an OBDII reader that has an ABS function but I've never used it before, will that identify what the problem is or just that there is a problem?

After I lifted my JK, the traction control light would come on at random until I had it properly aligned.

Alignment fixed it! Glad that's all it was.
