2007 Freightliner M2 Business class, Allison Transmission, MBE9000 engine... won't start. Error codes: ICU140, ECU128, Ab5136. Found blown fuse for bulk head module and replaced it. Turn key, dashboard lights up, fuel gauges flip/flop, radio lights up but does not work, truck won't start. 2 batteries about 2 1/2 years old. Thanks for any advice that prevents me from calling for a tow truck.

I looked those up.. not much help.From the justask: "136 fault is for a abs fault. This means there is a fault in your abs system. 140 fault is for your instrument cluster unit"I feel for ya bro. Had a bit of trouble starting my M2 Cummins ISC 8.3l.

forgot the last code... bh164. thanks in advance.

It's tough finding anything of value. When was the last time you had an ECM readout?Escapees has a good MDT forum:Escapees MDT forumI think you should make that call.

Thanks for the advice... particularly the Escapees Forum.. Believe it or not we found the solution - new batteries. Replaced the 2 year, 11 mo, 2 week old batteries with brand spanking new ones and waaaalaaaa started right up, sounded like a new truck. No error codes. It is almost oil change time so I will have it checked at Freightliner.Thanks again, I appreciate the advice.

Great!!! And thanks for posting back what the fix was.
