I picked up my 2010 Lariat Supercrew on 31 Oct and have been learning the new features, especially Nav and Sync. I ran a Vehicle Health Report just to see how it worked, and it came back and said that the brake system needed service, that the brake warning icon may be illuminated indicating a parameter out of normal range or a component has failed. But the brake warning light is NOT illuminated and appears to be working properly, and there is no change in brake ability. I ran the Vehicle Health Report again today and it said the same thing. I'm ready to bring the truck back to the dealer tomorrow, but thought I'd ask the experts here first, in case I'm doing something wrong.

 

Is your parking brake off when you run the test? If its engaged it will trigger a fault.

 

I was sitting in my driveway, so yes, the parking brake was on. I'll try it again tomorrow with the parking brake off. This doesn't feel as stupid here as it would face-to-face with the service manager at the dealer. Thanks.

 

I had the same thing happen....just release the break and run the test again

 

OK, duh, that works, take off the parking brake and no faults. Thanks!!

 

Dont sweat it I did the same thing, lol.
