My guess is you'll have an EBCM Relay circuit code. C0265, and possibly some communication codes.

If you have those codes, you'll need to check the ground.
YEAH! thats the code/condition i was referring to. I just couldnt remember the code number.

he did state that the reservoir is full, which is why i was leaning toward the ground.

I am new to these trucks and so i havent even fixed my grounding issue yet. I am ever hopeful that the issue is the ground and not a BAD EBCM. the ABS module where i would assume the EBCM is located appears to be a major PITA to replace.
