On vacation 2 odd issues
Hey guys I'm curious your thoughts on these. I'm pulling a 9k lb camper on vacation with my family. The truck is running great but I have the abs light and a p0478 with check engine light on. We set up camp I cleared the codes and they have not come back on but I'm not towing. Any ideas? Is it something that can wait till I get back home?
Thanks
Dan

Exhaust pressure control valve high input, ep is high for 30 seconds or longer; faulty ep sensor, vgt control valve slow to respond, stuck vgt valve. Do you have turbo farting? What year truck do you have. I printed a list of codes & have them in the glove box for future reference. exhaust pressure tube clogged or bad sensor?

It's a 06 f350. No turbo farts. Seems to run fine. It did come on after pulling a long steep grade. Maybe just need to clean the sensor?
Any idea why the abs light comes in while towing then clears after I drop the trailer?

I have those tunes, if you have a egt probe, you would know if you ok. The unlimted keeps the temp down, its just changes the shifting points. There is a tube the leeds to the exhaust pressure sensor. The sensor is under the thermostat housing. The thin steel tube runs down the drivers side exhaust maifold.
