I've tried a search but I couldn't find this specific issue addressed. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed it.
2014 Trail. I have been to 2 different ORV parks in the past month. Each park has easy to difficult trail systems on which I pretty much restricted myself to moderate or lower. Mostly 4 low under 5 mph stuff. I have used the ATRAC, CRAWL, and Multi-terrain functions at both locations. Some good flexing, lots of dragging the brakes, and a couple of very low speed drags on the step bars or skids. Nothing leaving any apparent damage. I have a dealer installed Bilstein 5100 leveling kit set on the fronts @ 1.75" of lift. I have road driven the truck for a couple months after install without any indicators of trouble with the install.
Here is my dilemma. At some point on each day while I was trail riding the ABS light came on and stayed on. No flashing that I noticed. Simply steady on. Pumping the brakes wouldn't turn it off. At the first park simply shifting back into 4 Hi at the end of the day turned the light off. At the second park even shifting into 2 Hi didn't disengage the light. But when I turned off the truck to air up, and restarted it afterward the light didn't come back on. On both occasions the light has stayed off once I hit civilized road and left the trail riding behind. So I don't know if all of the trail braking is sending a signal to the ABS or if one of the wires may have been damaged during the shock install. I'm leaning toward no wire damage since this only shows up in 4 Low and on the trails. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this. I don't see any point in taking it to a dealer yet, because by the time I get there the light will have gone off and there probably won't be a code to read.
Any ideas? It's not a deal breaker and I'm not worried about the problem yet. It just has me kind of mystified.....
