I had just hooked to a trailer and it squatted my truck a little then it came on but I left it hooked up and it didn't come back on again the rest of the day. hope it was a one time deal. my truck shows one warning message now. I don't know if I have to take it to the dealer for them to read it?

Sounds like you are probably in warranty so you could do that. If you are interested in being able to read codes and tons of other real time information on your truck, you could buy a $10 Bluetooth obd reader and buy torque pro for android for $5 for your phone, if you have android. You can read codes and look at all sorts of other info with it. Pretty good deal for 15-20 bucks

What's the model year of your truck, award? Having your dealer check this out is a step in the right direction. I suggest reaching out to them if you haven't already; use this to get started.

Please let me know how it goes! I'll be here to help however I can.
