Traction control system warning

Really? Will be my respoonse

 

Your respoonse to what ?

 

I hate dealers, they're such pieces of shit.

 

Suit yourself

 

I thought you were saying thats what the dealer would say?

 

If you like dealers screwing you over then suite yourself.

 

I can't even follow this conversation anymore .

Good luck with your truck

and it's response , and suit

 

I had the same thing happen to me in my Subie a few years ago. Slid off into a snow bank, had a guy pull me out, traction and ABS lights came on. Brakes and all worked just fine after that, continued to drive to my destination and the next morning all the lights were off and never had an issue after that.

 

Pointing out the obvious doesn't help. It helps when people give suggestions and share similar experiences.

 

I suggest you go to the dealer and get the truck scanned because warranty , thats been my experience with a similar situation

 

I wish that was my situation. Have driven it over ten miles and it still hasnt gone away. I also disconnected the battery. Maybe a sensor went out of calibration.

 

I will, hopefully tomorrow. I doubt the warranty will cover it though.

 

Oh, well I drove mine way more than 10 miles in a blizzard. More like 50 miles and it was still on when I got to my buddies ski house. Then the next morning was when the lights went off.

 

If you got the underside of the truck all packed with snow, you simply iced over one of the wheel speed sensors. When it thaws out and has enough time to reset the code, the dash light will disappear. Happened to me last winter after doing some deep snow adventuring.

 

You must have been really stuck... Or they didn't know what they are doing

 

Gonna take more than that. It needs to completely thaw and go through a full drive cycle on the PCM before it will reset itself. It will take at least a few days above freezing to get it to clear off. Don't sweat it.

 

Stuck to the axles.

 

So should I wait a few days before going to the dealer?

 

I'd just let it sit over night and see what happens and not jump the gun. I mean, it's Sunday night and the dealer isn't even open right now, so sit on it over night and reassess the situation in the morning. No sense in having it towed to the dealer now since it's just going to sit there just like it would be sitting in your driveway overnight.

 

Absolutely. You could take it to a car wash with an under-body spray to melt off what is left under there to speed things up if you'd like. It took two or three days for it to clear from my dash after I packed my undercarriage with snow/ice.
