House batteries should have nothing to do with the chassis systems. I would start by momentarily disconnecting the chassis batteries and see if the lights reset.

twincessna.......Drive it a mile or two and if they don't go out, shut off the coach and restart. A lot of the Monacos do what yours is doing, especially after a rain storm.

My ATC light in my Sig is designed to come on when I turn the ignition on and stays on until I have driven up to a set speed of around 18 mph but I do not get an ABS light. What does your manual say?

Gotta ask. What happened to your original batteries? Two years old?

I have experienced two occasions where the ABS & ATC dash indicators would either stay on or come on and then off for no reason. The remedy was to open up the FRB compartment where the ABS control board lives and with the ignition key in the OFF position, I exercise the black push button on the board 20-30 times.

It has taken care of both incidents with no more false indicators on the dash.

ABS light stays on

After changing out my house batteries, my ABS light stays lite. Please tell me what the term "FRB" in your post means.

Thanks, Bill

I would tend to agree with Dip don, start it, drive it up to 5 miles, if ABS light not out, shut down for at least 2 minutes to clear everything, restart and drive another 5 miles, this is part of the sequence for clearing the ABS if all else is correct. We used to have difficulties with sensors being moved on rough roads on a 2001 Ambassador, would shut down, reset all 4 sensors, then start and drive. The light would usually be out between 1 and 2 miles.
Hope this may help a little, Happy Trails Bert

The ATC light will go out if you apply the service brake. Start your MH and put in gear and engage the brake and the ATC light should go out.

Continuation of post #7 above. The manual (07 Executive) states;

"Reconfigure Mode is entered by holding the switch in prior to 'ignition on.' Once the ignition is on, release the switch, then press 7 times."

First I'm going to try all the suggestions in this thread.

However, If the problem persist, do I need to reconfigure the system? If so, and if I'm understand the procedure in the manual correctly, it will take two people to do the procedure: one at the ignition switch and one at the front bay.

What do you guys think?

ABS light staying on

This is a continuation of two previous post regarding the staying on of my ABS light.

I visited the Bendix site at the below address, and also reviewed the processes outlined in my Owner's Manual (2007 Monaco Executive).

Bendix EC-60 ABS / ATC Controllers (Standard & Premium Models) Service Data.pdf

After reviewing the excellent information Bendix offers on their site re their ABS, I contracted their BVCS Tech team. I explained my circumstances (how the problem arose when the house batteries were replaced) and asked if the "Reconfigure" process outlined in the Monaco Manual would be appropriate to reset the ABS light, to which they concurred.

To "Reconfigure", locate the button that is under the dash above the drivers left knee next to one of the two diagnostic plugs. With the ignition switch in the off position, depress the switch and turn the ignition switch on, then release the button. Then immediately press the button seven times. The light should now go out. Problem solved.

I hope this helps!

Bill

They should go out when you start driving it.

The ABS light on my coach didn't go out after many start/stop cycles. It took less than a minute to execute the above procedure recommended by Bendix and the Monaco Owners Manual.

I'm scheduled to leave tomorrow on a 3 month trip! Woke up this morning with snow coming down. So goes the adventures of RV'ing!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Bill
