Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) Now what?

I pulled my 2018 IH coach out of storage tonight to head out and I notice the amber MIL warning light is on. From what I understand, it's related to emissions, but I'm not sure what to do.

I've gone through my entire 20 lb. black bag of manuals and can't find the PowerGlide book anywhere that would give direction on what this means. So I'm at a bit of a loss on what to do.

I've got 200 miles to drive tonight.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Not sure what to tell you about tonight. Call Tiffin service tomorrow. They can step you through getting the fault code and tell you what it means.

Here are the instructions for accessing the fault codes on the driver's information screen:

Utility Screens
1. The SETUP Menu shall be accessed by simultaneously pressing the left and right display buttons for 3 seconds. When this condition is sensed the Drivers Information Center shall briefly display the word SETUP and then display a list of menu items with the top item in the list highlighted in reverse video.
2. On each utility screen, the function of the left and right display switches shall be displayed in the LCD above each switch.
3. To exit the SETUP Menu, the operator must scroll down the list using the left display button until the EXIT SETUP menu item is highlighted and then press the right display button to SELECT the highlighted action. The LCD shall briefly display the word WAIT as the DIG resets.

Scroll down to the Active Fault Codes section:

ACTIVE FAULT CODES: Pressing the Right Display Button (SELECT) while the ACTIVE FAULT CODES menu item is highlighted shall bring up a list of any active fault codes that are currently being broadcast. The SPN and FMI shall be displayed for each active code. Pressing the Right Display Button (NEXT) shall scroll to the next active fault in the list. Pressing the Left Display Button (EXIT) shall force a return to the SETUP Menu Screen.

Thanks. I found the fault. It's low coolent warning. SPN 111.

I had no idea those utility screens were there under the gauges. The dealer didn't show me that when I did the new vehicle walk through.

Thanks again.
