Today I removed the chassis batteries ground strap for a full minute to see if rebooting the electronics might get rid of the flashing "warning" light. That didn't work either.
However...
We had another odd thing going on during our trip through the Rockies. We were running with just over 1/3 of a tank of diesel fuel, and the next time I looked (2 minutes later) my low fuel light was on and the gauge was reading flat empty. We drove for quite a distance before we were able to refuel. During this time the gauge corrected once and then went back to reading empty. When I removed the screw on cap to my fuel tank a very large vacuum was relieved. I refilled, all was well, and off we went. This might have tripped an error code?
I have spoken to both Monaco and Cummins, who found it easiest to just blame each other. I have a mechanic dropping by soon with a test unit that reads error codes.
Strange stuff? My dashboard electronics system doesn't describe what it is warning me about, or the error code.
