So, this morning I went out to my truck and noticed I had a bunch of lights on, on the dash. Traction control is stuck off, Stabil Trak is off, ABS light and Stabil Trak light is on. No check engine light. I'm a novice to mechanic work but research leads me to believe it's the EBCM.

Hello,

Any time you get ABS or other warning lights, the first step should be to scan and retrieve the fault codes. As this could be any number of components like bad ABS sensor, wiring issue or EBCM.

Here are some helpful guides on how to retrieve ABS codes:

Knowing the code(s) can help determine the issue.

Let me know what you find or if you have any questions.
Thank you.
