    Hello. Has anyone experienced a brake controller error message where the 4Hi and 4Lo lights are flashing, ABS light is on, traction light, and warning light on?

    I actually got that same message last week during a heavy snow. I had to pull a forklift out of the snow here at work and after i was done that message popped up. I took it out of 4lo and 4wd. Shut the truck off and restarted it and it was gone. Hasn't been back since then. Weird.

    I see I was not towing anything though. This is the fourth time I’ve received this message and has been the longest the message has been displayed.

    Same thing literally just happened to me 5 min ago. Only thing different is the speedometer isn’t working and my gas gauge keeps fluctuating.
    I was not towing and haven’t towed anything heavier than a simple 12 ft trailer in over a year. I was in 4wd over Christmas due to muddy Texas panhandle roads.

    I was able to reset it by unplugging the battery for 20-30 min. However, when I first started the truck back up it died immediately. Second try worked fine and drove it around the block without issue. Still going to take it to the dealership for diagnosis incase it happens again.

    Take it to the dealer to report the issue.

    I went To two different dealerships and a mechanic. All of them ran a diagnostic on my truck. The first dealership says that it was just a software update and they clear the message. Two days later it comes back on. Went to the mechanic that said it was the sensor that was causing this. I purchase A new sensor and he replaces it, but then the brakes started to really grind and he said it was bc the ABS was now working but that only a dealership could clear the code. The second dealership says that there was no issue with the sensor, it was just a bad wheel bearing. I agree To their $1200 repair but they ordered the part for the wrong side. I came Back to north Texas and found a mechanic that did the repair for $500.

    I also had a thread about traction control, ABS and some other lights staying on after I started the car and someone said it's the battery! But I think it happened again with a charged battery! I'm watching it now ...
