I can't recall but nothing needed to be repaired an the $110 was for a diagnostic to find out why the lights on which led to nothing unless they lied to me. I really think that light came on because when I over turned the jack an it laid damn near frame it caused the sensors to trip . It's not like the abs light is on I don't think the traction light has to deal with the brake system but as for the other light which is the brake light I'm confused that light should only come on when you e-brake is on or your low on fluid an I'm neither.

Also when hitting the brake or turning the steering wheel I'm hearing this weird sort of grinding sound that I never herd before and a light wind of something burning I don't know what the hell is going on an I have a feeling the dealership is going to **** me something vicious.

Was charged $110 for a diagnostic an they (dealership) told me it's nothing they can do because of the big brake kit I would have to install the factory kit in order for them to fix it wtfffff.They said the only time they've seen this happen is when you put bigger rotors an calipers on the truck and the EBCM isn't set for the amount of pressure the calipers require.THey said there are no codes in the system the system reads clear but I still have traction light a brake light on . I think this is a bunch of ******** those anyone have a clue as to what I can do or I'm I out 2k.

Do you know a good mechanic that is not the dealership in your area? Dealerships generally only work on OEM stuff and get skiddish about anything custom and feel free to wash their hands of any issues if the issue involve any custom component.

If you can find a good mechanic in your area I'd explain your issue to them and see what they have to say. I'd bet it's a very minor thing that just needs to be tweaked. A qualified mechanic should be able to diagnose and fix the issue.

Unfortunately, I'm by no way, shape or form a brake install expert or I'd give you more stuff to look at other than what I originally posted. :(

If your light is on, there certainly is a code. If this is the second time this dealership charged you for this lame excuse, I would never return.

The eBCM is a load of crap too....If you want to pay a deposit on a cable, I will get one out to you, to read the codes. Sounds like there is something wrong with your ABS system.

As far as that dealer I'm done with them and I have no abs light on. I've took it to a shop today that was referred to by a friend hopefully they can help me out if not I will order the cable because I need the truck for next week.@trick the closet shop that I know they had done bbk installations and other mods on trucks is a hour away that's my last resort if all fails. I'm just puzzled because I didnt touch Anything electrical at all I really think the stability light came on from me almost laying the the frame when I over turned the jack but as far as the BL I'm lost may need a pressure bleed Vs the normal pump an release way,
