A friend of mine called me up this morning saying his TC, ABS and HDC lights on his instrument panel in his DII are lit up amber. Anyone experience this before? What is the reason? thanks in advance. |

Any chance his CDL is locked? If mine is locked and I restart the truck, these lights illuminate. Has the truck been in for service lately? |

No the CDL is not locked, we haven't installed the lever for it yet and I'm sure my buddy didn't crawl under to maunally switch it on. Last time it was serviced, he had the brakes done, that's it. Could it be the ABS sensor? I asked him to jam on the brakes on he felt no pulse from the brake pedal. |

Having those lights on means there's something wrong with the ABS system, somewhere (I know, you already knew that). It could be a sensor, or it could be like mine where the ABS actuator failed.
If the lights don't go off after the truck is turned off and back on (indicating an intermittent failure), I think a trip to the dealer is going to be necessary.

Welcome to the club.
Had this happen many times. A few times while driving on the highway, once while stationary putting in gas and a couple other times.
Needed to switch off for 5 minutes and then restart. Dealer had no explaination and no faults stored in fault memory.
We just had the SLABS recall done and hope that this will fix the problem. They also found that rear ride height was uneven by about 2mm, this had to be adjusted even both sides before the SLABS upgrade would work.
Hope this helps.

Most likely you have a failed wheel sensor. I have lost several. Usually it happened off road when wheels are slipping. Not a big deal as far as lights go. Just a lot of them. |

If the ABS sensor is off this can happen as Jeff said. However I've never had them go off while the wheels were spinning other than the TC light come on to say it's working (as if the grinding sound wasn't enough).
Another thing to check is that he had the SLABS recall done. A SLABS failure will also cause those lights to come on. |
