Roadmaster Even Brake - Help

[rff105]

We just finished hooking up a Roadmaster Even Brake in my 2008 Buick Enclave toad. I am getting in error in operation. Here are the final steps of setup and where i am having the problem.

1. Plug in the Motorhome LCD
2. Plug in the Even Brake system
3. LCD Says "Even Brake ready to Test"
4. I press "Test" in the Even Brake and it does 3 full braking cycles
5. The light beside the test button goes green
6. The LCD says "Test is good system ready"
7. When i turn the coach on and press the brake i get the Yellow error message "Not operational more info" "Brake Pedal is depressed"

The system does not do anything after that i have repeatedly turned the power to the units on and off and have re-done the initial self test successfully many times.

I have double checked that i am only getting a signal to the green wire terminal 1 on ICX transmitter when the coach brake lights come on. Also the brake system applies full bakes at any time when the Break Away pin is pulled. I have not taken the unit for a road test but I have read it operates with the deceleration of the coach not nessisarly the brake lights. I do not think this should affect operation but the brake lights are on any time the parking brake is on while the ignition is on.



I also have a question about brake systems in general. Our coach turns on the brake lights when the retarder is active. Will this activate the toads brakes while going down hill for long periods of time? Will the low sensitivity level keep the toad brakes from coming on while going down hill with retarder only (no braking at the coach)?

Has anyone disabled the brake lights from going on with the retarder? None of our commercial trucks activate the brake lights with retarded/jake, why do coaches? I think it is a safety hazard to always have the brake lights going on when traveling at interstate speed on cruse control when the retarder kicks in just because you go over a slight rolling hill. I know when i see brake lights ahead when I am on the interstate it makes me ready to hit the brakes.
