Brake signal

Hi I recently ran into this issue with the brake being displayed after replacing the thermal protection unit on the truck module. The start up and test sequence all engage and everything is normal. You step on the deadman/brake pedal and you can hear and see the brake being released. As soon as you turn the "throttle" the display module indicates that the brake has not been released. I've been through the schematics and troubleshooting areas surrounding this issue but I am at a loss. Everything I have troubleshot and/replaced does not fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated.
