I have a 2019 that just did this today while taking the scenic route to Vegas. Every warning light possible. This happened at about 2K miles with a bunch of rain.

Both times I just unhooked the negative battery terminal and walked away for a while. I love this truck, but twice now...

Luckily it lit up when I got back onto the pavement.

Just had this happen to me on startup. Numerous warnings and no pedal response at all. Just have pedal commander and forscan changes on my 2019. Restarted after inlet it sit for a few min and everything was fine?

Mine has done it 5 different times now. Been to the dealer 3 times. It gets old and is very frustrating . I too have a Pedal Commander

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

Having similar issues from my 2017. Stock except Pedal Command and a few Forscan changes that were already done before I purchased. Wondering what the fix was/is?

Take the commander off. Mine started having issues which they attributed to a number of things. They “fixed” it but I have yet to put it back on my truck

I removed my pedal commander and I haven't had any issues since.. I called pedal commander and they said they will warranty the unit... I said ok, how do I get it back to you... crickets, twice they said To send it in... and after that no responses

so it seems like there are 2 distinct types of the “Christmas tree” dashboard issue.
One for the stock trucks, and the 2nd for the trucks with throttle input modifiers.

The latter is manifesting at start up, dash board faults and no available throttle(?)

no complaints with them on that front. Sent a return shipping label. I think I would be much happier if they replaced the unit.

they said my mapping was bad and wires were loose in the unit. Uhh ok.

I now really don’t like the idea of something with dubious build quality sitting between me and the throttle.

company is based in turkey, and the CS rep did not seem to have command of the English language.

Truthfully, it may be for the best to leave these off of the trucks.

I disconnected the Pedal Commander but still getting a bunch of fault codes. Only other thing that changed in the last week was I added an ARB on board system. Wired to upfitter 4.
