What happened it still drives fine but the green one is flashing and saying multitraction is unavailable.

Can't see the photo, but it may be because the Multi-Terrain knob was pushed and it is giving a warning when in 2WD. My 2013 shows "Shift to 4WD" when I do this.
 

Make sure you don't have VSC Off switch hit. If not I would bring it to a dealer. Manual states the multi terrain selector light (green light with the truck) flashing is a warning light that needs diagnosis. Been a min since i played with multi terrain but I'm pretty sure it would not flash when in operation.

Check your fuses before you go to the dealer too.
 
I take this to the dealer once a month for issues. you would think for the money that we paid this thing would have all these issues.
 
I put it in 4H and 4L nothing changed I am taking it to the dealer in the morning.

Did you try any of the other suggestions we offered??

Putting it in 4h 4l would likely not get rid of those lights. He wasn't suggesting you put it in 4wd he was saying you might have hit the multi terrain select button while in 2wd which would make those lights come on.

Try not to get frustrated. There's a lot of features on these trucks and it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with how the function before calling it a problem.

I did, I put it in 4H 4L and N to see if it would go off. nada, It's dark out so I can't check the fuse.

I feel like perhaps you are not reading the full thread and your missing several suggestions. Try to open up the thread and read all the comments. Maybe pull up a video on the traction features and get a better understanding.

But, you need to try and turn multi terrain select off. I'm guessing that your driven with it on in 2wd enough that it confused the ECU.

You need to hit this button (Located on the headliner by the reverse mirror and map lights) and look at the dash.

Best of luck.

I tried that. thanks. when I push it in thats when I get the multi traction is whatever.
 
Did you look at the pic he posted? It’s throwing codes. It ain’t the MTS being accidentally enabled or left on.

I did. I see no check engine light. One of the first things I said is it's likely going to require dealer diagnostic as MTS flashing is a red flag. But, **** me for trying right?

I've done weird combos before and had the dash light up. I've kicked my throttle harness connector and had similar results. God forbid we run through some options before going to a stealership.

Third Gen would throw VSC/Trac and CEL with an evap code, such as when the fuel filler cap was loose. Anyone know what Gen5 does in this scenario? This many lights seems like overkill, but maybe?
