Low Air Pressure Alarm

[gsanford]

I have a '98 Allure and it occurred to me last weekend, when a friend of mine was talking about his low air pressure alarm going off, that I've never heard a low pressure alarm on my coach.
I just bled off the air from all 3 air valves, started the engine and put it in R and D and no alarm. I also tried holding the parking brake off and still no alarm.
I can't imagine CC didn't originally put an alarm on the coach. Does anybody know where I should look to see if I have one and troubleshoot the reason it's not working?

Thanks,
Gary

You have to drive the coach for a few miles before the system becomes active. First of all you need to find out if your coach has the tire monitoring system installed.

I'm not talking about tire pressure. I'm talking about the air system for the brakes and suspension.

So are the guages on Dash for primary and secondary tank show zero psi? You should have audio and or audio and visual alarms at anything below about 60psi. There should be a beeper in dash and below near pedals, similar to jacks down alarm they may even use same beeper.

Yes, i bled the air lines so it would be zero pressure and still no audio, no red lights.

Had the same problem on mine. The bendix low pressure valve was bad. Replaced it, and the 2 others next to it, and all was well. Valves on my 01 Affinity are in the compartmment directly below the driver, on the front bulkhead.
