So this happened to me a few times and I can't understand why.I have noticed from time to time the traction light will stay on after startup(car with the squiggly lines underneath bottom right in the dash)It usually happens if the truck hasn't been started in a few days,last time it happened it was a week left sitting and I used the remote start and the light stayed on.I ran the truck for a few minutes and shut it off to start it again and the light stayed on.Next start it was off.Then I sat in a parking lot for 20 mins with the radio on and when I went to start the truck seem like it was slower turning over and on stayed the light again,next start it was gone.I'm thinking my battery is getting bad but wondering if this could cause the light to stay on if it turned over with low voltage.I have noticed that the voltage will be 12.2v but when starting it drops to 8v,anybody have an answer to why this happenes?This is a 2011 laramie.
