dmcb Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have a 2002 Allegro Bus with the 8.3 Cummins and Allison transmission. I have a beeper that sounds off after about 15 minutes of driving. After I stop it will still sound off but only with the engine running and in gear. Only in drive or reverse. No warning lights show a problem. The transmission doesn't throw a code. I have engine and trans. monitor that shows oil pressure, trans. temp. and engine cooling. This is in addition to the normal lights that monitor. Everything shows in the normal operating range. I cannot figure out what this beeper is trying to tell me. It seems to be heat related somehow as it takes about 15 minutes to sound off when I start out in the morning. It does not shut off until everything is shut down for a long period. A shorter layover might start out without a beep but it will start sooner. I have bad hearing and that is a sound I cannot hear but my wife can. She says there is a sound like air hissing just before the beeper sounds off. In addition my jacks are up and the beeper on them is tied into the red warning light which does not light up. I would like to think there is some kind of malfunction with the beeper but I don't want to ignore it. I hope someone has a solution to this. Thanks.

Chad Heiser Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Do you have air brakes? If so, do you have a gauge showing air tank pressure? The beeper could be a low air pressure warning - especially if your wife hears air escaping when it starts. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcb Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I do have air brakes but the gauges read normal Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmac9 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 My warning buzzer for the levelers not being all the way up was doing that, even though they were definitely up. It would only activate when I put the coach in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcb Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have been suspicious of the jacks but looking at the electrical it is also tied to the red light which is not on. What did you do to correct it? Doug Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat & Pete Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Pull the fill cap for the leveler system reservoir and check / apply the recommended fluid . Most likely a transmission fluid . On our Monaco , the level is up to the threads of the fill cap . Just below that level are a couple of sensors ... when the fluid is below them , the 'alarm' warns us . Very annoying , that alarm . Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Parker Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I had the same problem. My jack fluid was just a little low. If I turned a corner to the right direction, it would stop beeping for a few sections. Sometimes the light wouldn't come on for a while. As Pat and Pete say, I would top off the jacks reservoir and rule that one out. Otherwise, sorry I have no other ideas.

coachmac9 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Sorry, I didn't see your question sooner but like the folks have said above...low fluid was the culprit for me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcb Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Ha, thanks guys. I have a problem with my jacks and had to remove the hose to get a jack back up. That bled off some fluid. I am sure this will be my problem also. Doug Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcb Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Checked the jack fluid yesterday and it was low. A relief to find that. Glad I didn't cut the wire to the beeper. Again, many thanks. Doug Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Recheck the oil level every few weeks, there might be some air in the system that has not self-purged yet. My HWH system did that and it took adding oil 3X to get all the air out, it hasn't required oil since then. 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.
