Air system warning buzzer....?

Sundog17 · 05-03-2009, 05:48 AM

I have a 2004 Dutch Star 40' with 4 slides. On our last outing the air pressure warning buzzer for the front air system was coming on sporadically. The pressure indicator would drop to 0 pressure immediately and then within 2-3 seconds it would climb back up to read a normal level of about 125 lbs. Usually it would happen twice and then act normally for a while before doing it again. It happens when driving down the road at highway speeds. It happened most often after sitting at a traffic lite with my foot on the break and then accelerating away. The buzzer would go after maybe 4-10 seconds after leaving the traffic light. Do you have any thoughts on the cause, correction, further testing to diagnose the problem? I haven't seen any difference in operation of the suspension or brakeing system when this happens. It almost acts like it is a faulty sensing unit.

Thanx 007, I think that thread is pointing me in the right direction. It just might be because I had my headlights on and it needs some kind of software fix. I rarely drive with headlights on in daytime and I did for my last trip...and that is when the problem started. I'll check it out and see if I can eliminate the problem with headlights off - then get it looked at. Thanx again,
