Title: ABS brake malfunction and finding service
Post by: stella on October 08, 2013, 06:38:00 pm
The ABS light illuminated on our '95 U320C SE after 2 hrs of stop and go city traffic.  It remains on all the time now.  I have been unable to find any places in western Washington or Oregon that can read the fault codes and hence - no service.  It seems the Midland Grau system is not all that common.  We are planning to leave in 2 weeks from north of Seattle for warmer climes and would like this problem fixed.  Any help?

I know they do not make our ABS any longer and I have a 2001.  It should be easy for someone to read the codes. If not you can drive it but with no ABS till you find a place that can read it.
Lots of time it is a sensor that needs to be reset or replaced.

Rick, try " Inovative Coach Works" in Junction City in Oregon, also I think there is a Cummins dealer up that way that might be able to help.

Also in the Junction City area is an authorized Foretravel repair facility, Oregon Motorcoach, as well as the Monaco facility. The Cummins dealer, Cummins Northwest, is in Coburg or pretty close (we're in Coburg and passed it a few miles back).

These seem to be problem children.  Orphaned.  Non repairable.  Mine is also on.

Surely post your luck in fixing this.  In my case I understand one wheel is no longer abs the other three still work.

Rare to brake slide a tire on one of these thankfully.

On my 2003 U320, I found that the problem was with sensors on the front wheels. check this website Oemy's Web Site - (http://www.oemys-performance.com)  scroll to tech tips and once there click on abs sensors, scroll down the pic's, which will indicate how to fix the problem should your coach be equipped as mine. Good luck
