Check Engine Light, Warning Buzzer, Coach Loses Power
Howdy, Y'all.
Here are the symptoms of our 1993 BB coach's intermittent problem: THEY HAPPEN RANDOMLY. Normal start up, driving down the road - the Check Engine light will come on, a warning buzzer sounds, and the coach loses power for about 10- 30 seconds( IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF). All this stops, coach picks up and all is normal. This might happen every 20 minutes for an hour OR might happen once in a day or might not happen for DAYS. I get really wacky over this because this coach is my home and I think it should perform perfectly. Any suggestions, fixes, thoughts or solutions for this problem? Thanks, Liz 1993 BB WBWL D'hanis, TX SKPs |

With any type of intermittent electrical problems, I always check for:
1) bad grounds 2) loose connections 3) bad/loose fuses Good luck chasing it down. Markus 86PT40 To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com From: jacklizpearce@... Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:23:23 +0000 Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Check Engine Light, Warning Buzzer, Coach Loses Power

Check for a trouble code from the DDEC. That should send you in the right direction.

Liz: Have Jack check all the main battery cabling for an intermittent short.
Could be around the batteries or it could be up at the front going to the genset. Ron R.E.

Thanks so much for the replies.
Thanks @Steve - the low coolant sensor was replaced in 2010. But certainly worth checking into. Thanks @ Roger - the code we get is 25 = no code. We even stopped the coach on the side of the road while this behavior was happening and ran the engine check, the code was 25. Thanks @ Ron - I'll tell Jack what you suggested. This is driving me crazy. Jack is more cool about this than me. Liz 1993 BB WBWL D'hanis TX SKPs > |
