    I have a 19 with a lift, front camera, full bumper and Xtrek grille. Never a single issue. I gotta think it just needs reset or something is not plugged in right.

    I don't get it. I put in the lift kit (2") and the PCS went haywire. Did a shop do yours? Maybe they did something afterward to rid the alarms/fix the pcs

    Unplug it. Unhook battery for a couple hours and see what happens.

    Tried that, but battery was only unhooked for about 30 min.

    So weird. I did this one myself too and it went smooth as butter. I don't get why yours wouldn't do this and this one would

    Yeah I've unplugged it to take the grill off three or four times and didn't treat it with kids gloves or anything. Never a light or anything..

    I installed an aftermarket "Pro Grill" and sensor cover and had a 2" lift. No issues except when the sensor cover gets dirty.

    It's so bizarre that some people have this issue and others don't. It's like the needle bearing issue people had when they had to replace it after a lift. Some have the issue and others don't.

    I feel your pain and I know you don't want to hear this but I had all the error lights and it was very frustrating. The alignment fixed one error, the lane departure fixed itself but the TSS never recovered on it's own even after service manager suggested unhooking the battery and pressing the brake pedal down for 5 minutes. Ended up taking it to the dealer and took them 4 days to fix(waiting on parts), started with a new harness and then a new sensor and luckily all covered under warranty since the cause was a pothole (lol), for the actual TSS reset / recalibration the tech had plumb bobs in front and rear and they had a grid thing on the wall in front for the tss to read. No lie, it was a struggle even for them but eventually they got it.

    damn! that is super frustrating. How did you get away with them not blaming it on the lift? I know the dealers around me and they will be the first to say it's because you lifted your vehicle and all the angles are different.

    I followed another members suggestion to say I hit a pothole which caused my steering to wheel to be slightly off set so I got an alignment at a tire shop to fix it but the error wouldn't go away. I brought donuts for service people and I know I got lucky.

    With the new dealer installed lift kit and pro grill combo they are now selling for $1300, they must be recalibrating the tss too on the new trucks.
