Default Stability and ABS fault

06 H3, long story short.
Accidentally pressed the traction button after that the system went nuts. Almost lost control a few times. I have no codes showing and don't know of any way to reset these faults. They go away but come back a few minutes later. Any ideas??
thanks
Jim

Could your button be stuck... like after a pop/coffee spill.

Have you ever turned off the StabiliTrack or Traction Control before? Your contacts may be dusty cruddy.

Try that just to cycle the system. Press the TC button once then release and Trac Off should display. Drive it a minute, press it again, the message should disappear.

You have to press and hold the Traction Control button like 5-6 seconds, to turn off StabiliTrack, STAB SYS OFF will display, drive it a minute. Press the TC button again and the message will disappear.

If that helps, get some electrical contact cleaner and spray in between/behind the buttons with the truck off. Wait a while for the cleaner to evaporate, see what that does, cycle the system again.
