    CTIS hwy blinks again after 30 seconds

    I'm proud to be member of this fantastic forum, much better than other forums where the netiquette don't exist... :-) I bough it from a german seller of military trucks. He also made the frame for habitat and second gas tank. The original ECU have 5 solid ligths (I have it), so he switch from...

    CTIS hwy blinks again after 30 seconds

    The pressures are: highway: 95psi, tires don't loose air, but CTIS continues to inflate. cross country: 60psi, working perfect sand: 40psi: working perfect So I also think it's a MTV ECU, but I don't know if I should happy or not... I don't know if all the components (wheel valve, PCU, QRV...

    CTIS hwy blinks again after 30 seconds

    Yes you are right, but strange thing is that ctis don't work only with the 95psi pressure. I am scared about the high pressure, on front tiresbI got 95 psi, and max psi for tire is 95. I would be more than happy if pressure is around 75/80 psi, but staying so near on max is scaring me... What I...

    CTIS hwy blinks again after 30 seconds

    Hello Coachgo! I verify the pressure and in fact is above 90 psi. Main problem is that the ctis does not work with this pressure, continue to inflate, recycle everytime, pressure test after 30 seconds is always negative, so starts again to inflate. What should be possible is to insert a...

    CTIS hwy blinks again after 30 seconds

    Hello again. Now I am quite sure to found the reason. I gave a look to the ECU and as immagined it's not original. I did the following tests: - deflate to cross country: works well, stops at 60psi and stay stable - deflate to sand: works also, stops at 40psi and stay stable - inflate again to...

    CTIS hwy blinks again after 30 seconds

    Yes, I use shop air to the truck. Today I need to recheck it again. I untighten the banjo skrews, let's see if some tire has diffrent pressure... Thank you very much! Christian

    CTIS hwy blinks again after 30 seconds

    Hello again. I'm now quite sure that the ECU is from a FMTV 5 ton truck. That can explain why the pressure is so high. Are the ECU compatible with the original pressure transducer on the PCU? If I change the pressure transducer on the PCU, makes diffrence? It's possible to change pressure...

    CTIS hwy blinks again after 30 seconds

    Hello all! Thank you for your infos. @coachgo: I have Goodyear MV/T tires, weight is about 19.800 lbs (9000kg). I untighten the banjo skrews and seems no wheel is loosing air. But today I will make the soap water test. I'm quite sure that the ECU is not original, it was replaced from another...

    Hello forum. I know that there are a lot of CTIS threads, but I didn't found any usefull info, probably because I am blind... Sorry about it :shrugs: I have a M1078 with CTIS partially working. I will try to explain what happen: - Air tank is full at 120psi - CTIS starting to work (hwy...

    transmission oil cooler hose: torque for the jam nut on 90 degree fitting

    OK. Thank you. The problem is that I am loosing oil right there, and I don't know how much can I tighten. Seems that would be a trial and error procedure... :roll: Christian

    Why not relays? Using some industrial relay is more reliable than PWM, and in emergency can control manually... Christian

    CTIS and Arduino

    Sounds very intresting. Thank you very much for the information! @Ronmar: I will be more than happy if you share some pics and info about your solution. Thank you very much! I would like to have a system like the original ECU, where you can select the ground type, maybe with display to see...

    CTIS and Arduino

    Hello again. Please don't misunderstand me. It's not because it is not working, but I like to have a spare part of this component. On web actually I cannot find any seller that sells the controller. This is why I was thinking to make a rebuild of it. Christian

    CTIS and Arduino

    Hello forum. I am thinking of creating a Arduino hack for the CTIS controller for M1078, first and maybe second generation. I gave a very fast look at the system and seems not really complicated. Does anyone have some information or a workflow diagram, some sensor value or something else that...

    M1078 A0 change inner door handle

    Hello. The wood is not very thick, about 3,2mm woos and 5mm foam that can compressed. The original handles have sharp edges and I fear they will cut leater... Welding a pipe on the alu handle can be a solution, I will think about it! Thank you Christian
