I just had this same issue, the ABS light came on randomly in my 03 Silverado. Turns out the front driver side wheel bearing was shot and creating some issues with the ABS sensor. My brother tore it all apart and replaced the bearing and all is well now.

pgallenstein,
 
If after restarting your vehicle, did these messages come back on in the DIC, or no?

#4 of 11 4wd fails to shift on the fly by 2003_z71

Apr 30, 2012 (10:26 am)

My 03 Silverado has ceased to shift on the fly. I've got the manual shifter on the floor and it just wont budge from 2wd to 4hi until I'm basically at a complete stop. It used to shift on the fly smoothly so I'm not sure what's going on...maybe a sensor or something? Any thoughts on where to start before I give in and take it to a shop?

I see - sometimes turning the vehicle off and on again resets this. Are you thinking about getting it looked at?

Yes I plan on having it looked at, but it will be a 4 or 5 days before I can do this. I just purchased this truck and it only has 27,600 miles on it.

Here is a little bit of an update. Before taking the truck anywhere I tried unhooking battery cables, hoping it would reset computer and clearing alarms. That didn't work. Thought I would try and save a few bucks so I went to Advanced Auto Parts and they used their scanner (Actron CP9580). It showed up as "No Code Detected." They recommended a local auto care service department which I am scheduled to take it in a few days.

pgallenstein,
I'm sorry that the steps you've taken so far haven't yielded solid results so far; I hope that your upcoming visit gets you more momentum towards resolving this!

The Auto Care place that I took my truck to found that the wiring to the
electronic brake control module was damaged. The cost to repair was small. I just hope that this was the problem and it is fixed
