    Modern truck ecm's are tapped into so many things that it could be any thing on your truck... I got a check engine light on my dodge and it was telling me that my brake light switch on my brake pedal was going out and it was spiking every now and then... But of course I was able to read my own codes since on Dodges you just turn the key 3 times and they read on the odometer...
