You would need to have the controller and control board changed out which could be expensive.
Also at times you would have to level manually if the coach is parked on uneven ground.
If its possible with your coach you should level each chassis rail in jack pairs front and rear jacks on passenger side until yellow light moves to drivers side.
Than level drivers side chassis rail until yellow light goes out.
If yellow light moves to front or rear bring up your front or rear pair jacks but not so much as to flex your frame rails to bind your entrance door or lift rear duels off ground.
Doing leveling manually gives you more control over your jack system.
Auto level can possibly flex your chassis frame and pop out the windsheild on unlevel ground.

lp5151,

I concur with "007". Manual operation gives you much more control.

The most common problem I find with "automatic" systems - somehow, the 'level' sensor has been "pushed/jarred" out of proper alignment. When this happens, the RV will never be leveled properly and can twist the "box" excessively.

You have a good system, why pay for more headaches?
