I was on my way home from work yesterday, when all of a sudden my truck freaked out. The Nav/Radio when dark and the ABS, Battery, Airbag, and many other lights all turned on for 2~4 seconds and then everything returned to normal (Lights went off). I also noticed a difference in the brake pedal effort during the experience. This seemed to be happening when I was coming to a stop (decelerating) about 4~5 times in a row all within about 2 miles and 5 minutes. The engine seemed to not be affected. I was only a mile from home so decided to pull over to a safe spot and shut it all down with the key for a minute. Upon restart the problem did not return.

I'm thinking it may have been something with the Nav/Radio (Stock) or possibly the alternator upon search?

check your battery - my truck freaked out twice before battery went dead week later

Battery, terminals and cables were my first thought as well.

I also suggest checking the terminals and battery. I had a similar problem and ended up with code U0101. Some people have reported damaging ECU's due to corroded terminals.

LOL I was waiting for you to chime in on this. I read your thread over and over when I was having troubles.

Check the battery. When battery starts going bad it can cause all kinds of weird stuff. Go have it tested.

If that is the original battery it is probably the culprit.

Some will disagree, but IME a standard/common OEM-style battery is on borrowed time after 50k miles.

Battery...mine only made it 30k.
