Would a wheel sensor cause both Park Brake & traction lights to come at the same time when I start the truck up? They stay on now but I do still have cruise control.

Get the codes retrieved. ESP and park brake lights can come on for a lot of different reasons.

You need a scanner that can retrieve ABS codes. Most cheap code readers/scanners can only retrieve powertrain codes. If the lights are on there will be codes set, you just need a proper scan tool to retrieve them.

Yes AlfaOBD definitively give the ABS code. I use it a couple of days for ABS light + traction lignt. For me it was the left rear wheel sensor.

Very well could be a faulty brake switch (if you haven't fixed it yet). Had the same thing on my 2O12 and that resolved it.
