    I'm a few hundred miles from my 10k service. Whilst driving home from work these 3 lights come on the dash. They don't flash, they're just there. And they just popped on with I was cruising with cruise set.

    Any thoughts? I can't notice any difference in it's performance. Also, if I turn truck off and let it sit nothing changes.

    :popcorn: sub'd for outcome.

    At first I thought it was the ABS kill switch, but I was wrong. ABS KS would show "locker" instead or "brake", the other two lights would still be on for that.

    Those lights come on all the time.

    Search for ABS, Trac, VSC light on in the Google box.

    Not sure if I will rush in to have this fixed, or just wait for my scheduled 10k.

    Just saying, warning lights come on for a reason. For a 10k truck, I'd worry. 200k- not so much...

    The yellow one on the left means you are being chased by snakes.

    Heeded your advice. What I read was a shit ton of people from early 2000's on have this issue and get various answers or responses from mechanics and/or there dealer.

    Did I miss where there was a definitive answer?

    I think there's more than one reason why this can happen, so maybe not.

    It happened to me once. I got worried something was broken. Nothing changed as far as I could tell, and an hour later it was gone. Hasn't been back; been probably over a year.

    No rhyme or reason, and no issues before or since.

    2015 less than 10K Miles. Allow the dealer to do his job and fix it.

    Mine is doing the same thing.

    Traction and ABS light come on randomly and shut of randomly. Been under the truck and nothing looks bent broken or out of place.

    Just annoying as shit. If you take it in I would be interested what the dealer says about it.

    Sometimes I feel like you could walk into service department and say "my truck exploded" and they will be like....Eh, that's normal

    Absolutely plan to. Just don't have an abundance of free time. And I assume they give no loaner. Maybe they will shuttle me 30 miles. Lol.

    This morning the lights went off 2 miles into my drive, and then like 10 miles later as cruising along at 60mph I was looking down at dash and boom...all 3 lights came back on.

    I am having a similar issue with my 09'. The ABS and that other yellow light come on sporadically. How do i know which wheel sensor to change? Aren't there 3 of them?

    Roger that. Just curious.

    First time this happened to me I was towing a trailer for a buddy.

    All I envisioned was brake failure and death lol.

    I know it's not that severe now, but still. I don't like lights on the dash coming on.

    Good luck, will be around for updates.

    Mine doesn't about 5 times a week now, pissing me off
