Help! - Check and Stop Warning Lights On!

[Lee Bornstein]

Tried to start coach yesterday and engine batteries were dead - Replaced them this morning and coach starts ok but.....

Turn on Key, Check and Stop lights come on along with other warning lights, then go off as normal then Check and Stop come back on.

Start Engine and they remain on - Any idea where to start trouble shooting on this?

Iss this a False Error?

Im ready to hit the road but am concerned.

Found problem using DDEC Flash Codes - Low Coolant.
Topped off reservoir and all is OK now.

Using Flash Codes would be a good topic for POG III

JDUB covered it, and it will not hurt to repeat it.

The single most common cause of lights is the coolant sensor.

Jon:
Missed that in Seminar - Thought Jerry was just talking about DDEC Code Reader not the Engine Override Switch method of viewing codes by flashing lights.

Lee: Good Job on running down the problem with your coach following the clues. We may have to come up with a new Award for POG3 - The Cluesoe Award!

Lee,

The DDEC computer is responsible for the Check Engine Light and Stop Engine Light coming on, so the code reader tells you in plain English what the DDEC issue is. The code flashing light option also does this but you must have the chart if you don't have the code reader.

Also, the chart for the codes is located in a post on the forum.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Lee, and any others interested,

There are various ways to read the codes such as Lee mentioned one, another is to put a jumper across two of the terminals (A and M?).

The point is that if you do get a check engine or engine stop light, you do have a way to get a code and even though it is not as detailed as the information you might get from the reader, it will point you toward the problem.

Before those lights start flashing, it is a good idea for you to find out how you access the codes on your coach, and make sure you have the list of codes. When you are on the side of the road in rush hour traffic you are probably not going to be happy rooting around trying to find out why your engine shut down. You should be able to flash your codes so when a problem occurs you can resolve the problem, especially since most codes are for simple things like coolant level.

I'm trying to do my due dilligence. But unable to find the list of codes on POG. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Like Jon says I don't want to be on the side of the road wondering what the flashes mean.

When you do get flashes are they just the current codes or are there some historical ones in their also?
