 My "ABS" and "ADVANCE TRAC" lights came on and stayed on, in the instrument panel. Furthermore, the "4x4 HIGH" light flashes on and off.
In addition, Prior to the herein describe problem, the brake pedal felt like the ABS was on, even on dry pavement and at low speed. Now, with all lights still on in the instrument panel, it seems that the onboard computer "OC" has disabled 4WD, ABS and Advance Track "AT"(which the OC is saying to service the AT) therefore am now driving 2WD. I even tried to turned off the truck and turned it on right away and it seems that the onboard computer is trying to reset itself (no light in the panel, but the pedal start to feel like the ABS is on (hissing pedal), however, after a few 100 yards of driving, I am back to square one (ABS and AT lights on and 4x4High light flashing with disabled function!!)
Anyone has any ideal of what the problem might be?
I have purchase an OBD2 computer to verify what error code I might get. However did not yet received it!!
Thanking you in advance for your help!! |

| fisrt of all your scan tool might not support codes other than ones related to your ECM. So depending on how much you paid for it it wont support it. therefore there must be a code that the abs is setting otherwise the light shouldn't be on. So either spend some more money and get a better scan tool or get someone to do it for your.

This will be a sort of wild guess...
Have you had the oil changed recently? Or the air filter? PVC?
What you have might be a vacuum leak.
Check around the engine bay for a loose hose.
