Dash Warning Lights

Hello,

I have many warning lights on: Check Engine, TPS, TRAC OFF, Skid Marks. How do I get the ones other than the Check Engine to turn off?

The tires are at the correct pressure although I don't have a spare tire/wheel.
What does the Skid Mark mean?
How do I turn TRAC on?

 

Step 1 is to scan the truck and see what codes are stored in all the modules.

It's perfectly normal for traction control to be disabled when there is an engine control system fault.

 

Thanks. I have and OBD to USB cable somewhere...can't find it.

How about the TPS indicator. Could it be that there's no spare tire on the vehicle? Can that be overidden?

 

Trac and VSC are always turned off when the check engine light turns on. TPS could be because of no spare tire, through the spare in the bed and drive around for a few minutes to see if it goes away. If it does then you may need to do an electrical tape mode. Cover that light up.

As for the others, put your seat belt on, close the door and change your oil.

 

If the TPMS light flashes and then remains on then most likely you have one or more bad sensors.

I suppose you could disable the light if you wish (there are threads about it if you search) but the sensors aren't terribly expensive.

 

From what I've read the 2013 doesn't have TPMS in the spare tire.
