Lights: ABS, brake, 4lo, 4hi, hazard triangle, bsm, traction contol, rcta. Warning messages: Drive start control malfunction, visit your dealer. Blind spot monitor malfunction, visit your dealer. Trailer brake error, if toeing come to a safe stop with manual controls, contact dealer. Rear cross traffic alert malfunction, visit your dealer.

Aprox 30sec later all lights turned off and everything was back to normal.

Driving truck on freeway with cruise control on at 80-85 mph. Road was flat and it was a clear sunny day. No cars near the truck and the precollision sensor went off causing the truck to almost emergency brake before I turned cruise control off. There was nothing in front of the truck to cause this. A few weeks before the precolision sensor and lane departure semsor went off and til me the truck needed to be taken to dealer. The sensors have gone off a few times saying they are inoperable.
