Few weeks ago on my 2016 - 1500 daily driver with 68k, I got the:

'Service Trailer Brake System'
'Service Electronic Braking System'
'Service Anti-lock Brake System'
'Emergency Brake Light'

Messages all at the same time. I acknowledged the messages and hoped they would go away. They did that afternoon and the next morning. Then that afternoon they popped up again. It was inconsistent for a few days but now its every time I start the truck, put it in gear and roll more than 10 feet.

I found posts on replacing the ABS module or Steering column control module but those only mention one service message, not all three.

BTW - The truck runs fine. At 68k I am sure the pads will need to be replaced soon but I don't suspect that worn pads are causing this issue.

Thoughts?

Go to an auto part store & get them to read any ABS codes. Most standard OBDII readers don't read them.

Took to the dealer who replaced the ABS module under the extended warranty. $650 repair outright. Cost me $100 deductible and $100 for rental.

Thanks for posting this. I have a 2015 Big Horn and am having the same issue. Noticed that it also won't shift into 4X4 Lock or 4X4 Auto. Did you happen to notice if you had that issue as well?

Thanks
