    My TCS light was on (together with tractor ABS light) when I had a leaky wheel seal and oil covered the sensor. After repair and cleaning of the sensor problem got solved.

    UPDATE
    I have looked at about 6 different code charts for MID136 but none show an SID 77 code

    My Code. Is MID 136 SID77 FMI 2

    I have switched out all 4 of the load sensors under the dash
    Blew out the steering sensor ( tho could still be bad)
    Anyone show this code on any of their charts?
    Light still on

    Here is your code. By description it means signal voltage is way out of range or no signal at all. Definitely wire or plug problem.

    Do you know how to work with ohmmeter?
    Some hints how to find sensor
    Turn truck on, build air pressure. Depress brake pedal.
    Unplug sensors one by one. Look on the dash gauges which one is out.
    Plug wires back to sensor. Do not unplug more then one at the time it's easy to mess them.
    The sensor you unplug and gauges still working is sensor you looking for. IMG_20190527_000940719[1].jpg

    Ok I will try this and see what happens. I did switch out each sensor with a new one but the light still stayed on. But I guess if it’s not getting any voltage it would probably stay on.
    Do you know if the light will just go off when it is fixed or is there a procedure to reset it?

    When I was switching out the sensors the top right sensor was a newer switch for a Mack truck so I guess there is also a possibility that since someone has been in there replacing switches at some point — that the wrong wiring plug could have been plugged into it??? If they had more than one plug socket unhooked and then plugged them back in incorrectly. I guess I would need a wiring schematic to try and figure that out though.
