Q: While driving on freeway truck goes into a limp mode, and the check engine light, abs light, parking break light, service brake
While I was doing 65mph down the freeway I noticed my Speedo was bouncing, my check engine light, abs light, parking brake light were on, and 4 messages on dash. Oil level low, change oil, service brake system, and service brake booster. I scanned the codes for the check engine light, and it said massive air flow sensor. I've unhooked the battery to reset the system but as soon and I get going it put the truck back in to limp mode, but with out the check engine light on. Any ideas or thoughts?
