    Better yet I looked again and found your code:: excessive wheel slip. Check air gap on sensors. Doesn’t say which ones to check.You can try to push them in with a long flat punch. Not too hard as you don’t want to damage cable while doing it. Unless you just spun the wheels and caused the light to come on. If so it should go off after starting up and moving 5 + mph

    Aside from a sensor needing to be pushed in. A bad sensor or cable to the sensor, a loose or bad wheel bearing can cause excess end play and knock the sensor away from the exciter ring. Something serious to check out if it doesn’t go away or keeps coming back on

    It’s been on since I got the truck in September, I’ve had kingpin bushings replaced and they said the wheel barring was a little loose on the right side due to a bad locking nut , I’ll start with the steer axel and work my way back. Thanks for all the input, btw I went to a shop today and had them hook the computer up to it, needless to say that got me nowhere. All the computer said was the abs light was on.

    Try pushing the fronts in they’re easy and can be changed w/o taking wheel off.I just had that on mine just pushed front one in. Also had a bad wire from RR to valve. After replacing sensor and aluminum bracket that holds sensor. They break easy. Look for broken wires. Mine showed excessive gap/ open circuit, was a bad wire

    You know there’s a button or switch you can hit to get a blink code right? I assumed you already did that.

    It might be the bearing.

    I did get one on the front to push in but that changed nothing. Going to test all the sensors, ck wheel barrings and get everything cleaned up real good

    WHAT? Bad locking nut on the bearing and wasn't fixed? :eek: How does a locking nut go bad? That's scary enough.
