Default Fix for traction control

I've been having the same problem since putting on 275/65/20's a couple months back. I did the research and took the TSB into my dealer and they told me to take the tires off and return it to stock and if it still did it, they would do the TSB. So, after talking to a couple guys on here I went to another dealer down the road and they did it for 40.00, since I am now out of warranty. Problem solved!!! No more anti-lock coming on in the middle of slow turns or while turning over a bump. TSB 12-6-18

Had a similar issue; dealer fixed it by following the TSB, I suppose.

can the tsb be done if you have a SCT tuner programmed to the truck or do i need to flash back to stock?

Flash the truck back to stock because the dealer is going to flash the fix onto the PCM and if your tune is on there it will brick the tuner and you'll have to pay to get in unlocked.

Exact same thing here. Went from a 30.9" tire to just 32.1" and now the traction control kicks on during a lot of low(er) speed turns, especially the on/off ramps.

Has anyone ever found a fix? I read about a TSB, but it seemed to only apply to 2009 and 2010 model years, whereas I have a 2012. Was hoping to get some answers to back it up before going to the dealer and wasting my money.

i didnt do any of those tsb things, but i did drop the tire pressure from 52 to 45psi and it feels alot smoother surprisingly. On bumps kinda takes them better. hasnt done traction control on turns yet, but its only been about 1 week since i lowered the pressure.
