CHEVROLET TRUCK

1988 chevy k2500 305cid 62k mi The dash brake light was on steady. I checked the ebrake switch and it seemed to be working fine. Now the light is flashing a 1 long and 6 quick flash code. Could you tell me what my truck is trying to tell me? Thank you

I couldn't get an answer on that one. What I ended up doing was just clearing the brake computer. It's been about 3 weeks now and no trouble codes have returned. Try clearing the brake computer memory and see if it returns or maby a different code will come up. Maby it was just a brake hickup.

You had to ask. When I had my oil changed they cleared mine with a scan tool and the garage didn't know what that code ment eather. Try disconecting the neg battery cable for like 2 min. That cleares the ecm and should do the brakes also. Let me know what happens.
