    Do you have a multimeter and know how to use one? Which data connector does your truck have?
    It should be located just below the instrument panel to the right or left of the steering column.
    It also could have two data connectors.

    There are two types you could have both. the one below is the most common.

    With the key OFF measure between pin C and D you should read very close to 60 Ohms.
    With the key ON measure between pins A and C you should read close to 2.5 volts.
    With the key ON measure between pins A and D you should read close to 2.5 volts and slightly less than the reading between A and C.

    Are the faults active when you are testing the voltage?
