Default Intermittent Tres Amigos

So, over the past year or so of ownership I have had the Three Amigos appear a few times (exactly 3 times prior to this past weekend), only to disappear and remain extinguished after turning off and restarting the truck. They have, in the past, remained off for months at a time.

This week, on the way down to FL for the move from KY they came on again, and again went out after restarting the truck. However, they have come back on several more times over the past couple of days and still go out when the truck is turned off. I haven't noticed any recurring event or pattern that triggers their appearance.

I am running new Lockheed pads from AB and just replaced and flushed the brake fluid less than 2 weeks ago. My brakes do not squeal.


Ideas?

Can I get the codes read when it's not showiing a fault? Aren't they automatically clearing when I turn the truck off? I'm going to order an ABS Amigo to add to my inventory... I wish I could just spring for the Bearmach Hawkeye system, but can't justify the $$$.

the codes will be stored in memory. They are cleared from being a "active" fault and the lights go away. I have the ABS AMIGO and HAWKEYE.

i still have not had time to get my codes read,,,, BUT

i noticed that my 3 amigos come and go in relation to how i park my rig,,,

if i park on a steep angle they come on right away,,,as soon as i turn the key.


if i park on a mostly flat area they do not come on and my ABS and TC work correctly.
