    Most likely a wire rubbed on the ABS chassis harness between the cab and the LF steer wheel speed sensor. When it rains the water increases the continuity to ground and turns the light on.

    Too bad they aren't all this easy to find. Right in front of my face. One of the rare occasions I walk out of the dealership spending less than $100 bucks on a part. Plug&play.

    I'm getting this message now. Doesn't happen when it rains, generally only when I accelerate fast. Guessing it doesn't have a way to tell exactly which drive axle it is so, it only says "AA" for additional axle?

    Additional axle is most of the time front drive on Pete. Look into LF drive.
     
    D.Tibbitt, pushbroom and JonJon78 Thank this.

    Changed this out last night. Neither of the drivers side drive axles speed sensor cord/line had any cuts, fraying, or concerns that I could visually see.

    Replaced LF drive as recommend here, and the problem is gone, no warning messages on the dash at all today.

    Thanks again.
