For the last week or so I have been dealing with the dreaded Wrench, ABS and Traction light on and off intermittently. Sometime will come on as I'm driving and be brief and other times come on and stay on. I don't get the wheel lock up, like a bad ABS sensor. I checked my tone rings, thinking one was broken. I changed my rear brake pads, as they were low. Noticed this while checking tone rings. Brake fluid is within allowable limits. Brake pedal feel is soft and making a whoosh as I apply pressure.
The warning lights have been coming on at morning cold start up and stay on for maybe 10 mins. I also have noticed its been cranking longer to start the truck, like a weak battery. I put a voltage meter on my OBDII bluetooth app. My voltage has been 13.9 at start up and bounces around between 13.4-13.6 depending on high how I have the heater fan, seat warmer, etc.
From doing research, I read a post where someone asked about there airbag light being on and people commented saying its from a failing battery. My airbag light has been on a few times at start up as well. So I was wondering if there's a connection and if I replace the battery will these issues go away or do I need to be looking at something else.
sorry for the long post, just wanted to be as informative as possible.
