Drive modes don’t work

[murphyraptor]

When I start truck I now get a notice my drive modes don’t work. Also the steering and suspension buttons on the steering wheel no longer work, only the exhaust button operates now. Heading to dealer on Friday. Hope it’s an easy computer update !

You can try disconnecting the negative battery terminal and letting it sit for 30 min and see if it resets itself.

Thanks! I’ll try that

I did find one of the live valve shocks was not plugged in all the way and probably came loose and thru the code??

Good find. Could be something to add to the list of check before driving off the dealer lot. I bet because it was disconnected it disabled the drive modes.

Yep, that will cause the drive control mode malfunction error message.

Yep. Disconnected the negative terminal for an hour to reset computer and everything is back to normal. Thanks
