Advtrac button seems to depress and the diodes are lit but it will not engage on. Dash keeps flashing that it is turned off. (Anti sway)

Hello,

It sounds like you have an ABS wheel speed sensor that is out. Can you follow this video to pull the codes to see what comes up?

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Another question, l had the motor mounts replaced. When l picked up the truck the ABS and advtrac light was on. I have never had had it on before. L ask the mechanic why was it on and all he could say was l do not know. Do you think perhaps when they changed the motor mounts they inadvertently messed something up?

Yep, the wiring for the ABS wheel sensors runs near where they were working so I would look in the front for either wiring damage or a disconnected sensor.

If you run the codes it should tell us exactly which side it is.
