    I was driving to work this morning and my Parking brake, ABS, and traction light all lit up. Brakes seemed fine, turned the truck off and the lights are still on.

    What should I do?

    Take it in somewhere to scan it. Have you pressure washed the truck the prior day? My truck did this once after I was aggressively pressure washing it, one of the wheel speed sensors was not happy but the lights went away after a day. I would check your wheel speed sensors and see if any of them have broken wires because I think that’s a possible issue with these trucks as well depending on what suspension you are running.

    My 09 did something similar to this. Replace your brake light switch. It is on top of the brake pedal under the dash. Search it here, that is how I found the solution. $20ish dollars for the OEM part. It is telling you that your brake lights are not working.

    To clarify, you're looking at the "slip indicator" light, not traction control.
    All three lights you see have the "reverse" in common. I'm no expert, but maybe that offers a clue. Thoughts, anyone?

    Edit: The output pins associated with "slip", "ABS", and "BRAKE" all go to the skid control ECU.

    Check your brake fluid and make sure it's not low, if that's good you really need to get the codes to proceed otherwise we can guess at it all day.
