My guess is, your computer thinks it should have ABS. Was the PCM replaced on the truck in recent memory?

Default Original PCM

Hi
That was a thought so i checked the VIN in the PCM and it matches the truck. Is there a way for someone to have changed the VIN in the PCM?
Thanks for the reply

Programming the correct VIN is standard procedure when replacing it. That's why the online PCM places ask for it. However the "CAB" (controller antilock brakes) actually has a CCD bus connection so I'm thinking the error is stored in the CAB not the PCM. What is the part number of the CAB ? Maybe it got changed.
