I will try to condense and be as respectful as possible due to still looking for the new member intro page.
Anyone able to help with wife's 2013 Hemi Grand Cherokee Traction control off and service 4WD warnings??
Posted on Jeep forum, but still have questions.
Everything works and drives fine.
Shifts through all the modes plus in and out of 4LOW ok.
I have checked wiring to transfer case shift motor and what looks like speed sensor on rear drive shaft.
Seems OK and plugged connections sprayed with contact cleaner.
Lube in axles and transfer case look good and full.
Sprayed contact cleaner around hubs/wheel speed sensors and went to power wash carwash last night after seeing good amounts of brake dust on each wheel.
I tried disconnecting negative battery cable for about half hour first day warnings showed.
Not thinking that did much as even clocks and presets all stayed.
With battery under passenger seat and not very familiar with this thing I didn't dare start unhooking posts, cables, and terminals under the hood.
Scanned with my OBDII Bluetooth scanner and Torque app-no codes at all.
I do have a "bi-directional" scanner that I have yet to use ever(haven't started it's subscription time yet), but may if needed.
Wondered if anyone had any ideas, experience, tips, tricks, or help I haven't thought of or tried yet.
T.I.A.

Right now it is setting with the negative battery cable unhooked.
Don't know if I f'd up while I was trying to reset it earlier in the day or what.
Figured we'd drive a little after the cleaning and inspecting and see if it cleared warning.
Wife drove us to dinner and everything was OK just warnings on dash.
Come out of the restaurant and key fob won't open door.
She takes the metal "emergency" part of the key out of the fob, manually unlocks door and BEEP BEEP there goes the flashing lights and horn blasting.
Got everyone's attention :(
Probably 10-15 minutes as I f around with key, fob, switches, finally yank the negative battery cable.
Google WTF to do and pull push button, insert fob, and we are on our way.
Both of us "pretty stressed".
Once home undid the battery cable again and will see what we get this morning.
Seems like some crazy "logic" used for the lock, ignition, security set up.
We definitely saw what NOT to do :(

Activated and scanned with my other scanner-C1415-92.
It would clear the warning for a minute and then you could hear transfer case shift (I think)and light back up.
At least I know more than I did previously.
Will dig a bit deeper when I can.
Guessing transfer case shift motor (?-seems to work in/out of High/Low OK).
See differential lube, will check both again and transfer case.
