I don’t know. I do know when my truck is having a fit. Clearing codes with the kill switch will not work. Additionally clearing the codes with the otr performance tool will not work when it’s doing it. After about an hour of driving all the codes disappear.
edit: if I clear the codes through either method the codes come back within 60 seconds

Alright, so the only update I have at this point is I pulled the greasy connector apart. Looks fine inside, but when plugged back in it triggers my truck into its spastic mode.
at this point idk…I’m thinking running the loads I have booked through next week and putting it in the shop. It seems out of my capabilities. I’ll keep the thread updatedRepoweredRookie, D.Tibbitt and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
RepoweredRookie Thanks this.

Before you get too carried away putting it in the shop, pull that connector apart and give it a good clean inside both sides with contact cleaner or similar. If there's a bit of dirt or grease inside one of the hollow pins, it might not be making good contact and causing those issues.

Will do tomorrow

Cleaned the greasy connector out with qd electronic parts cleaner. Seems the problem is still here but way better than was it seems. Maybe a placebo, but when I sprayed the connector a TON of grease came out. Will update after it goes to the shop the end of this week.

Update. After cleaning the nasty connector I’ve had no more electrical issues besides right after cleaning it. The shop couldn’t find anything wrong. I’ll update if anything changes.
Siinman and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
We are glad you followed the advise.
Don't forget to tip the technician who created the problem.
Good luck.mjd4277 and Codycodycody11158 Thank this. -
Good stuff. Glad to hear it's worked out an easy fix.
