    I bought a truck that worked 4 days and then it stopped working. The problem is that it cranks but doesn’t start. On the dashboard screen it shows 4 codes; 1- brake open 136s231 05. 2- engine controller no response 128s254 07. 3- transmission controller no response 130s254 07 4- a/c controller no response 190s254 07. I checked and repaired all ground connections and checked all the fuses. Fuel filter and pressure Are good. Batteries and terminals are fine and clean. Check engine light is on still since I bought it. Now I got stuck inside the Walmart distribution center here in coldwater, mi. It’s getting very cold and snowing. Any idea, help, or suggestions will be very helpful bc I don’t know what to think and do in this truck so I can go home. Thank you in advance to you all.

    Try disconnecting battery terminals and letting it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes then reconnecting. Did you download the ECM history?

    There are very few cheap solutions when it comes to owning a truck.

    No Sh##t! When I had electrical problems 2 years ago the whole debacle cost me $12 000 with all the tows, truck rentals, idiots who demanded pay for their ineptitude. That was the biggest f...up I had ever experienced. ECM was bad and a few wires leading up to it.
    Best to tow it to a specialized shop.
     
    p608 and Coffey Thank this.
