Travel mode failure rear bags
#11

Yes I mean to somehow provide 12v power to the solenoids. There are numerous ways of doing this. but first put a steel washer to the solenoid to make sure you don’t have power.

Second, I have see two coaches in the last year that would not lift the rear simply
Because the air system was not putting out a high enough pressure. Both coaches needed about 125 to
Lift the rear. The situation was compounded because the guage in the rear compartment was reading low. Put a new gauge on a quick disconnect fitting and plug into the air port to confirm you have the pressure that you think you have

a couple of things, had a repair guy look at it first. He”knew” what he was doing. Well he thought there was a bad connection. Long story short he totally tried to retire the 6 pack.. the problem was the sensor but he didn’t listen. So I had a mess when he left. Cut wires not hooked up wires just a cluster. He was gonna return never did. So I realized after the fact, read the manual. You can “force “ it to travel mode which I would have done bu the disconnected wires made that impossible. So the solution was to take the 2 airlines from the hcv’s ,they run to two solenoids at the end opposite the feeder lines to the bags . And they have a constant air supply. I then connected them directly to the feeder lines, thereby bypassing the 6 pack all together. It worked was able to get down the road. And the hcv’s functioned normally. ..
