    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    AKA: SAE or BSPP(british standard pipe parallel) type fittings that use a sealing Oring or sealing washer. There is usually a little step or bevel cut around the hole to contain the seal…

    Newbie Alert! New LMTV in DFW

    Yep, both pumps are in parallel. I did a system pressure test video and disconnected the output line on the hand pump and connected it to a pressure gauge. This showed me system pressure generated by the AOP while raising the cab and spare tire. thats why I suggested your hydraulic issues...

    Or not. Don’t need a computer to troubleshoot mine if it has an issue:)

    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    Wonder if it is supposed to have some sort of plug/cap that perhaps holds the electrical circuit in a particular state, like the data bus end resistors? Or perhaps something shorted it?

    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    Well anything in the manifold after the turbo would be altered/boosted. If this is sensing barometric pressure as a reference, it could be just about anywhere:) This diagram says it is forward and inboard of the boost sensor… looking at the diagrams it says that sensor is optional/only used...

    Eco Hubs 3.90 or 3.07 for Best Fuel mileage

    The A0 has no data bus to tap into for information… the only two electronic boxes onboard are the TCU and the CTIS and they are not wired together. Only a maintenance connector for the trans controller…

    LMTV Wiring/No Crank

    Is k26 energizing With ign on? Thats the neutral start relay controlled by the trans. K26 powers K11, K11 when energized sends power to the start switches to allow engine crank using those switches as they feed the aux start relay on the frame… trans trouble may indicate something in the...

    97 M1078 ctis dumped all air from tires

    right front might be a sticking wheel valve refusing to seal. the right line goes from the dump valve thru the hub to the banjo fitting on the wheel stud. then thru a hose to the wheel valve. unscrew the banjo bolt on that wheel and confirm that it is indeed a banjo bolt and not a solid...

    97 M1078 ctis dumped all air from tires

    Disconnect the line at the PCU i mentioned earlier that feeds down to the dump valves and wheel valves, and using a blowgun on that line, give it a brief shot of 60 PSI air. That shot of air should open the wheel valves and all the tires should equalize at the same pressure. As long as you...

    97 M1078 ctis dumped all air from tires

    he said they are dumping to 10PSI... it must be mostly blocked, as the system must build enough pressure to open the wheel valves in the first place... so air is coming from some place(leaking wheel valve, leaking PCU supply solenoid). a system open to atmosphere would have trouble building...

    97 M1078 ctis dumped all air from tires

    Quick fix, on the back side of the pressure control unit under the passenger dash on the port labeled C I think, disconnect the line to the wheels. The other line is the pressure input from the wet tank. The pressure line typicallt has a T right where it comes thru the floor as that air also...

    Retarder Switch on LMTV1078 - 2000 Model

    What year and model truck are we talking about? On the LMTV, Not retarder, exhaust brake... The retarder is a hydraulic brake system built into Allison 3000/4000 series transmissions as an option. The MD3070 AWD trans we use is incapable of it as the transfer case occupies the space on the...

    LMTV - Brake lights stopped working (Troubleshooing) Follow-Along

    in the drawing I attached that same 12v should also be on k10 pin 87 and is what feeds thru the relay to pin 30 when k10 energizes, to light the brake lights. it may be you have a bad connection somewhere along the source path from K6. it delivers measurable voltage unloaded and enough current...

    LMTV - Brake lights stopped working (Troubleshooing) Follow-Along

    K-30 and 31 are for feeding 24v commercial trailer lights via the 10 pin rear connector. You can remove them if you wish… pull K10 and connect a meter from pin 86 to 85(ground). You should see 12v there when you step on the pedal… You can bypass the light switch by jumping pin K to C which...

    LMTV - Brake lights stopped working (Troubleshooing) Follow-Along

    K6 is a good sign, means the switches are OK. from K6 it passes thru the light switch and activates K10. K10 switches the light output from flasher to brakes. Flashers working means K10’s de-energized contacts(30-87A) and all the rest of the light circuit is also OK. So I suspect you have...
