(problem: service brake system on DIC along with ABS, brake and TRaction Control lights illuminated on dash)

My mechanic recently changed my brake master cylinder and starter. He also cleaned the TB cause it was kina idling rough when he fired the engine up. Idled for about 30 minutes then I shut the engine off. The next day i decided not to drive the truck..boy was i lucky. When I got home from work, I started the engine up while parked under my carport and it started fine. I took it for a test drive and about a mile into the drive, the DIC started trippin with the ABS, brake and Traction Control lights along with the "service brake sytem" message lights coming on. The door locks started unlocking and locking and chimes from the vehicle stated going on anf off also. The DIC also said reduced engine power soon after that. Before turning into a nearby parking lot, the engine turned off while on drive. I tried starting it up again and the starter just cranked and cranked with no start. I then waited a couple minutes then tried again. While cranking, I stepped on the pedal to try to get it to start...It barely started, but got it to start eventually. I revved it and revved it until I knew for sure that the engine had good idle. I proceed home and again about a 1/4 of a mile the engine shut off while in drive. Thank god I got it home safely with several tries to fire the engine up.



The next day I went to start the truck up again and it fired up fine. I let it idle for about 20-30 minutes. Curiously I turned the engine off to see if I could start it up again. When I tried starting it up...it cranks for about a second then no juice...Its like it just cuts off. Meaning while i turn the key without letting go..it cranks then just stops. What could be the problem.. Would it be the TPS or a matter of changing the wheel bearing or ABS pump? Please Help. Thanks


ps I also could feel a pulse when I pressed on the brakes.

Any time I want
You might want to check the ground wire that is bolted on behind the cylinder head passenger side I think its a black wire with a white tracer or just a black wire kinda want to tug on it a little to see if its only being held on by a couple of strans of qires if it is it will break off.. if it breaks off you want to etend tbe by adding wire to it with a eletrical. Butt connector and run it to the front of the cylinder head where there are some pre threaded holes.. hope that helps you out
