Ghost in the system. Restart the engine and everything is working properly and there is no anti-skid light. Had the truck verI scan done at auto parts store and no diagnostic trouble codes are present. This has happened twice. No other dashboard lights come on.

No Ghost, it is your electric power steering rack that is going out. You reboot it when the truck is turned off and then back on again, it will start happening more and more until you replace the rack. When installing a new steering gear, it must be configured (using vehicle as-built data or module configuration information retrieved earlier in this procedure).
