Sorry to ask a stupid question, but where is the OBD port in the coach? In my truck it was to the left and below the steering column. The only thing I see is a round green kinda port thingy that doesn’t resemble the ones I’ve seen before. Thanks for the help.

I don’t believe you have a obd port on a heavy diesel .. you should have a round port with a screw on cap most are in the engine bay and under the dash but I have no idea on yours. To my knowledge it a different system not compatible

Mine is round on the New Aire. Wonder if this will work. It appears to come with an OBD 6/9 adapter cable. Says it works with trucks and busses.

Type "regen" in the little green box above to the right. You will get lot of reading.

You need highway driving to complete a regen. Yes there is a way to do it idling but the idle needs to be up quite a bit and it can take 45 minutes or more to complete.

If the filter gets so clogged that it cannot clear itself it will shut you down. Mine had to be replaced at 35 K miles. Seems it was quite common and based on the dumpster full of them I believe it is quite a money maker for them too. Mine cracked during their manual cleaning process which should have been around $800. They credited me the cleaning but it was still around $5k for a filter repair. They flashed upgraded my computer too and the regens have been different and sometimes very very long. I always get spooked now when the light comes on.

Might , looks like the right plug adapter if the unit is programmed to read it and it looks like they say it is. Spendy isn’t it?
