Hello all, Was wondering if anyone has had similar problems with their factory brake controller. Our 2014 Cab & Chassis 4500 is having problems sensing the trailer is connected to the truck. We have been through the trailer wiring 3 times now, and I can assure that there are no problems with...

Update on my issue. Installed the new speed sensors on the trans and still had the same problems. Then went into the hospital with a ruptured appendix. Finally got out and back to work on the truck. Figured it was beyond my capability so took it to the dealer. They determined that the abs module...

I have ordered the other speed sensor on the trans from the dealer. It will be in Wednesday morning. Hopefully will solve the problem. Thanks for the help. Will update the post when I get it installed.

Thanks for replying cerb. I have not replaced the speed sensor on the trans, I was unaware of it. For the connectors on the abs sensors, I did check to see if those were ok and they were. All connected and clean inside. When I called the parts store to order the speed sensor they only told me...

OK. Have cleaned and reinstalled (even though they looked ok) the driver side ground wires on the fender and the frame and no changes in codes detected. Inspected all wiring looms from trans reinstall and all are ok. Inspected all other looms and they also appear in good order. Today I replaced...

Have load tested both batteries and they're both good. Found some corrosion on the wire to the fuse block, cleaned that up. Checked all battery connections and they're ok too. Today the bat charger/volt meter says it's charging at 14. 3 volts. Still have all the same problems p0501 - speed...

Trans is back in. Had a clunking noise in driveline somewhere, was freaking out about it, then crawled underneath and found that I forgot to tighten the driveshaft to the rear end. But now have another problem that has resurfaced. Started a thread about 2 months ago for the abs light, brake...

Yup 20 min later and theyre back. Its gotta be a voltage/wiring issue. Im headn 2 the gin mill. I need it.

Just got back from test drive and no CEL, no ABS lite, no BRAKE lite, and the speedo works, however the check gages lite is still on. Voltmeter on the truck says less than 14 volts. Hooked up the battery charger/voltmeter at the shop and it says 13. 5 volts, so its still charging just not very...

I cant believe it. In the time it took to type all that, after I got done I got up from the computer walked over to the truck and cleared the codes 1 more time. This time they have not come back. I don't know if I just had to clear them a bunch of times or what. I'm gonna lower the truck down...

Everything started working normally very soon after I started this thread, I just attributed the problems to the very cold weather we were having. Then I smoked the transmission and had it rebuilt. Anyway we put it back in last nite and the speedo doesn't work and the abs lite is back on and the brake...

Yes, I do need to frequent the forums more often. We push our trucks well beyond their designed capabilities. For what we do to them I think they are holding up better than average. My friend is rebuilding the trans as we speak. He is waiting for the parts to come in to finish it. Hopefully done...

Cerberusiam is right. The trans will need a rebuild. We put it back together tonite with the new plate, solenoid pack & the epc solenoid. Filled it back up with fluid and its still having the same issues. And I will probably do alot more damage to it tomorrow as we have a foot of snow coming to...

Apparently I'm not as diligent and compitent as I thought

Well he says we're gonna try replacing the plate on the accumulator, replace the solenoid pack and replace the EPC (electronic pressure control solenoid) and install the new filters. He says if that doesnt work it wouldnt ruin the new parts we put in and they would all be replaced when he...
