P1639 Fault Code

Got this fault code yesterday before I started it. Check eng, battery, and ABS dash lights were illuminated, as well as the Traction Control. The code means the vehicle ID block is corrupt. I tried to clear it with the key in run and then with the engine running. Both didn't work... Truck runs fine and everything is in parameter.

Anybody run into this before? Hopefully H&S has a solution.

Thanks.

Fixed it. Called H&S and they walk you through the process. You have to talk to a tech support rep for an unlock code that changes every time you access.

They said a surge in voltage may have wiped out the information pertaining to the vehicle- model, wheel base, final gear ratio, etc. I was on hold longer than it took the time to update the Vehicle ID. :thankyou2:

Going to have the alternator checked out.
