Service Advancetrac warning message

[Erikp16]

Coming home tonight, really cold -27C (-16.6F). Backing up my driveway then this happened. Service AdvanceTrac is the main message. Additional messages are Hill Start Assist Not Available, Pre-Collission Asisst Not Available, Check System Brake, Reverse Brake Assist Not Available.

Anybody experienced it before? Could it be the cold weather?

I'd ignore it if it doesn't repeat itself after you use the truck again after a key cycle.

If it persists, then the first thing to do is run a good network scan for codes. (Forscan or FDRS)

Yeah, I tried after 30min and it is still there. I will tomorrow morning again. Unfortunately, I do not have Forscan. Maybe I will take it to the dealership first thing in the morning and see if they can fit me in the day.

I was reading some sites about it. Generally it tells me that I will lose intelligent assistance during wet/slippery conditions. Is that about right?

There's more than one thing that could potentially set off that ensemble of alerts.

For example, all those features have some overlap regarding components that they rely on.
One example is the 4 wheel sensors. Any one of those sensors faulting would disable those features.
The ABS module also could throw a DTC and the truck would disable all those features, yet whatever caused the code may have been no more than a temporary interruption on the network, but might require several key cycles before the code is cleared and thus returning the features to service.

Even a weak 12V battery can cause things like this to trigger.

My fingers are crossed that whatever it is that you don't end up with your truck sitting at a dealership though.

Thank you! Yeah, I really hope it will clear soon. And not sit in the dealership. Got to drive with family somewhere for Christmas to New Year.

Update: They did a software upgrade thus clearing the alarms. This happened to me before but with just a "service engine" lamp, SW upgrade then done.
