NOTE:
All codes are displayed by the ABS
warning light only.
The ash code switch is capable of performing
several diagnostic mode functions. After
ignition, a two second delay must be observed
prior to pressing the diagnostic button. For
functions requiring multiple presses the delay
between presses cannot be longer than two
seconds.
Active code retrieval - 1 press.
Inactive code retrieval - 2 presses.
Clearing active codes - 3 presses.
System confi guration check - 4 presses.
Dynamometer test mode - 5 presses.
Reconfi gure ECU - 7 presses.
NOTE:
Reconfigure Mode is entered by holding
the switch in prior to “ignition on.”
Once ignition is on, release the switch,
then press 7 times.
FRONT AXLE
While driving the motorhome, be aware of
any changes in the feel of steering and have
the system checked when noting apparent
differences. It is normal to hear some hydraulic
noise from the steering, especially when the
steering is at maximum, or while turning
the wheel when the motorhome is parked.
Investigate any unusual or loud noises that
occur. Begin by checking the level of the
hydraulic uid. Traveling at slow speeds over
rough surfaces may cause a “clunking” noise to
emanate from the steering column, but if noise is
heard on smooth surfaces while sharply turning
back and forth, the noise should be inspected
and repaired as necessary.
Shimmy and looseness should be checked
and corrected as soon as possible. If looseness
is felt in the steering, the steering linkages can
be observed while someone turns the steering
wheel left and right. Watch the linkages for
evident play or uneven interaction between
components to help pinpoint a problem. Wheel
bearings should be cleaned and repacked with
high temperature grease every 30,000 miles.
Have the steering system checked for damage
after a severe impact, such as striking large
potholes or curbs, and front-end collisions.
Observe the alignment of the steering wheel; a
change in the alignment may indicate damage to
the steering components or suspension.
Maintenance for the system entails adequate
lubrication. Use only a hand operated grease gun
on the ttings. Grease ttings for the steering
system are found on both ends of the drag link
(the bar connecting the steering gear to the axle),
and on the intermediate steering shaft located
between the steering wheel and steering gear.
The correct wheel alignment promotes longer
tire wear and ease of handling while minimizing
the strain on the steering system and the axle
components. Use NLGI #2 Lithium soap base
lubricant for all steering linkage and brake
components.
Alignment
Camber:
Camber, as shown, is vertical tilt of wheel as
viewed from the front of the motorhome. This is
machined into the axle when manufactured and
is not adjustable.
“Positive” camber is an outward tilt of
the wheel at the top.
“Negative” camber is an inward tilt of
the wheel at the top.
