  1. Thanks everyone. I found a place to read the codes. There was a code that showed up in the history. 129 times. I can't remember the code number but it said 5 volt went low. Then it listed accelerator position sensor, differential pressure sensor, after treatment diesel particulate filter, or 5 volt power supply from ECM. I can't find any wires going to the differential. The accelerator position sensor had a screw missing that mounted the sensor to the accelerator. I replaced the screw.  And I'm not sure what is meant by the after treatment diesel particulate filter. A dust cap over the brake assembly in the picture makes sense.  While I was under the coach I happened to see where 3 wires (a blue, yellow, and white) were chewed up by one of the slide out gear teeth. I repaired those wires and zip tied them away from the gear. I guess it's time for another test drive.


  2. Thanks Brett, I have been reading online about the ABS sensors. I think the rain is supposed to be over this afternoon for a few days. So maybe I can crawl under the coach. Also do you have any experience with code readers for these motorhomes? I don't think it would be worth it for me to spend thousands of dollars, but if the cheaper ones are any good, I think I would like to invest in one.

  3.  Thanks for all the replies.

    It just says warning on the very left of the dash. I do not know if the Allison transmission was ever serviced. According to the keypad test the transmission fluid is not low. The coach has a little over 55,000 miles. It has about 3000 miles and 5 months since it was serviced according to the previous owner. Is there any test to check the ABS system?

    Thanks again.


  4. We recently purchased a 2008 Holiday Rambler Endeavor on the Roadmaster rr8r chassis with a Cummins ISL 400 and Allison transmission. This is our 3rd motorhome but our first diesel pusher. On a trip last week we had a Warning light on the dash to come on intermittently.  No other light comes on and there is no audible warning. Seems to come on when I tap the brakes on a downhill stretch. It will stay on until I hit a bump in the road. If I am at a red light when the Warning light is on the transmission seems to delay shifting out of 1st gear. If I am driving along and the warning light is on and I let off of the accelerator it feels like the transmission downshifts to a lower gear. When it is off everything seems OK. It may go a couple of hundred miles between the light coming on. I have checked all fluids that I know of and done the air brake system test. The previous owner told me the coach was serviced last October.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
