W 24 Auto Park Question

I have a New 2007 W24, Chassis Winnebago Voyage and from time to time right after starting the engine the auto park light flashes and there is a constant beep alarm. As soon as I put the transmission into drive, reverse or netural the beep stops and the light goes off. Usually this only happens after we have been parked (camping) for a few days with the levelers down and the slides out. I always start the engine before rasing the jacks or bringing in the slides. The beep and flashing auto park light will continue until the trans. is shifted into gear.
If anyone has any information that would shed some light on this issue I would sure like to hear from you.
Thank you!

What kind of leveling system do you have? Starting the engine in ours sets off alarms, all leveling operations are done with the key in the acc. mode.

Dale, OUB has shared with us that he's not really up to speed on the J72 however I expect he will be able to share some information with us. I would hope that our W24 owners out there will come into this thread and respond.

You can call Workhorse technical support at 248-588-5300 however I expect that they will ask you to go to your closest authorized service center. I can help you find the closest one to you if you need that information.

Hey Jim,

Rather than an Autopark problem, could the alarms be related to the fact you start the engine with the slides out/jacks down? Does your Voyage use the Quickee or HWH system for slides and jacks?

I've never seen the need to run the engine to operate the jacks or slides, so I never turn the engine on 'til later. I would suggest you try it that way once.

Hello all,

I appreciate the responses and hope there will be more.
I run the engine simply because I want there to be full voltage to operate the slides (Kwikee) and jacks also Kwikee. I suspect that there is some kind of an auto park error that is causing the constant beep and flashing light plus the fact that it does not always do this. The good thing is that it always stops as soon as the trans. is placed in gear. If I have to take it in for warranty repair I will, although I know that intermittent problems are sometimes hard to diagnose assuming that there is a problem.
If anyone has had a similar issue on the W24 I would really like to hear about it.

Thank you!

As Driver has mentioned, we've seen so few issues with the J72 AutoPark system, that we have very little info on it. The frustration is increased by the fact that nobody seems to know what is in the analog black box/computer that controls the system

In keeping with some of the comments above, I'd suspect this is an alarm system that is related to the "jacks down" condition. It might be an interesting experiment to let the coach off of the jacks WITHOUT starting the engine first. I doubt if there will be any shortage of available current from the batteries to do that - - Then follow through and see if that stops the alarm from sounding.

The only reason I can think of that you would have an alarm "related" to the AutoPark system and the jacks, would be something that warns you NOT to lower the coach unless the parking brake is applied. This in turn, would imply that you did not have the rig in PARK. I would GUESS that the system is interlocked so you can't start the engine unless you ARE in PARK - - Dunno that for sure tho - - just an assumption. Woulds suspect the owner's manual would speak to that.

oub

The only audible alarm associated with the J71 system, is involved with the overtravel warning. I can't envision any relationship between that and what happens in the J72 with its hydraulically actuated disc brake.
