Intermittemt Workhorse UFO & Brake System failure alert

Hi,

Besides at startup would there be any reason this message would display?

I ask as twice recently I have seen this alert on short drives of about 5 miles and it then clears on restart. On a 10 mile drive I did not see it.

It will be next week before I can do a longer drive, I had the brake system fully checked out in Sept and all was ok.

Forgot to add my chassis battery does need replacing so that could be the culprit.

I get that message on start up a lot especially in cold weather. I just let it warm up and the message goes away.

Thanks UFO Pilot,

The weather is cold here now, that's probably it.

It was 35f yesterday and the coach was alerting like crazy. After about 10 miutes and 3-4 stop and starts in the sub division it stopped. Then drove for about 30 minutes and 5 restarts and no alert.

I spoke to Alan at Brazels (thanks again Alan) and he said the brake system needs to.huild pressure and its slower to do so in cold weather. That's makes complete sense. I will drive it again today but will leave it warm up first.
