    Anyone out there aware of an easy way to reset the stability control alert (before I go and yank a battery terminal)?

    The other day I installed some tie rod sleeves. Apparently I miscounted the number of turns on each side of the tie rod ends, and ended up with the steering wheel at about 50 degrees clockwise. Womp Womp. I'm presuming it's because of the steering angle sensor, but anyway it threw the angry CHECK ME CHECK ME notification all over the dash for the stability control system.

    Fast forward. I corrected the toe problem, and the wheel's straight, truck drives straight. However the angry screen is still harassing me.

    Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I did come across this. It's for the older models, but is anyone aware if it'll still work before I go jumping pins on my obdII connector?

    6.5 lift
    I’m right there with yah man, trying to find a fix myself. Just put a 6 inch lift on and my alert is going crazy. I’ve gotten an alignment. But I still waiting on my wheels and tires to get here and they are 33’s so the truck is still gonna go up. Dealer wants 200$ and says it might not work. Don’t want to go until I I get my wheels and tires but I’m gonna try to get them to tell me a Manuel way while I’m there. So far it seems that you need some special scantool to do this on the third gens. I also have 2018 so it’s possible my situation could be different because of the new safety sensor.

    My 16 and 17 PRO had no issue. Same lift on my 18 and it goes off just going in and out of driveways or whenever. Would like to hear a dealer experience.

    Tried every one of these methods to recalibrate that I can find, still nothing :/ still waiting on tires so haven’t been to dealer. Sounds like you can’t lift these trucks more then 3 inches. From what I’ve been told by another dealer.

    The method I linked to above worked out fine. If you've done it properly, are you certain that there's not something else going on under the truck? Maybe a broken wire from a snag, or a sensor left disconnected?

    Also, I'm somewhere a little north of 3.5", and it's fine. If you've got a keyless ignition model like mine, make you're actually in the "on" position when you try it (two button presses).
