    Can anyone tell me if those are the lights that come on when you turn off traction control? They came on together and won't go away. I think the switch could be junk? Nothing visibly wrong with any of the brake sensors.

    Trucks a 2014 kinda annoying when this little shit starts going wrong I already have to look at the tire pressure light from my new wheels that the sensors didn't fit in.

    No, you have something else going on with your truck. I saw that combination of lights one time on my truck and it turned out to be that some small debris had collected on the tip of one of the wheel sensors.

    If this were mine I would first disconnect the battery negative terminal and tap the brakes a few times to discharge capacitors and then reconnect the cable to reset system and see if it goes away. If it comes back you may need to have it scanned to determine what trouble codes are present.

    Your truck is under its comprehensive warranty. Take it in.

    I have a '13, and I can say, no, ABS light shouldn't come on when T/C is turned off. Might want to take a look at your brakes and sensors, or take it in. Do you have an OBDII reader?

    Truck has thrown an engine code , its normal for the ABS and VSC lights to be on in that case , get it scanned , could be something as dumb as a loose gas cap

    I ended up having to replace the sensor harness for my driver side VSC/ABS.
    I am still looking for a Regular Cab 2013 ABS kill switch.
