Abs/traction control

[Tatman48]

Check the abs connectors on the back both sides, the connection is right above the frame right where the top shock bolt goes in, people end up unclipping them by accident when doing the shocks

Will do this evening thanks

Let us know how it goes. Im having the same issue and just this past weekend serviced the rear diff. I will have to get back under there and double check connections.

Will do.... It will probably be sat when I get back to it. The problem is there are so many things it could be that it trips the end all be all of codes...

I do have a question and dont wanna thread jack but it could help: is there anything in the steering column that has to do with the stabilitrack? Reason I ask is because i disconnected the steering shaft to lube it, and for whatever bone head reason i got on the truck and started spinning the steering wheel. Well it went about 4 or 5 revolutions before I started hearing a crunching sound in the steering column, so i stopped and spun it 4 revolutions back to its original position. My guess is there is a wire bundle or two in the column that got wrapped around the steering wheel as i was spinning it. Only after i finished and re-installed the steering shaft is when i got the traction control light. Im thinking it has to be somehow related.

Steering wheel position sensor and clock spring.

steering column has a clockspring and steering position sensor, you need a tech2 or snap-on scanner or similar level scanner to get the bcm code fault.

the brake module going bad is primarily with the nbs trucks, it's pretty rare to never happens on the nnbs that I know of. sounds like you are "guessing" that's what it is, better to get the code while the light is on, a abs scanner may pick up a history code even if the light is not on

Yeah if it spun you broke the clock spring

A bluetooth OBD2 adapter (ELM327) (less than $20) and the app (free) I posted about earlier is really a super cheap way to look at BCM, ABS, SRS codes.

It is obviously no substitute, or comparison, for having a Tech2 but it isn't bad for the price.
