    CTIS and Arduino

    Hello all. As promised the Arduino sketch for the CTIS controller. The sketch is complete, but the I/O pin's are set on default. This because depends on the wiring (I made a PCB). The sketch is also able to read / write the default pressures of the 4 terrain modes. You need to write the 4...

    CTIS wheel valve do not close (solved)

    If you are changing the tire and the CTIS wheel walve will not close after pressure check or inflating, check the banjo screw if there is some dirt. Happen to me yesterday. If the pressure don't fall under 20 psi between wheel valve and banjo screw the membrane do not close... Christian

    Hello all! I have a strange problem with the air brake pressure gauges. Pressure is about 120psi on all 3 tanks, CTIS is working well, but the 2 pressure gauges shows front brake 90 psi, and rear brake 120 psi. Does anyone had a same situation? The 2 pressure transducer are near the left front...

    CTIS and Arduino

    Hello all. Sorry for the late answer, but due heavy work I did not found the time to answer. After 2000 miles I must admit that the Arduino and CTIS do a great job. It works like a sharm, every 15 minutes checks the pressure and adjust it. No problems after all. More problems with broken...

    M1083 CTIS issue

    If you don't hear any solenoid clicking means that the system is not ready. Most probably as Ronmar wrote the wet air tank sensor...

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

    Thank you! That I think is the best way to solve! Do you remember what kind of attachment they had? Jig or flat?

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

    Happened today, 1000km from home. Frame and rear axle is full of oil, what a nightmare! Now I need to find some hydraulic hose shop to get 2 flexible ones... Loose about 2 liter of oil. Of course on weekend, no one is working... BTW: are the original hoses of aluminium or steel? Christian

    Self recovery winch: loosing oil through "overpressure" valve

    OK, found the drawing. I see a screw (43) and a oring(42). in m1078_TM 9-2320-365-24P.pdf, page 680 Maybe both of then are closing / opening the oil flow to the brake chamber? Christian

    Self recovery winch: loosing oil through "overpressure" valve

    Self recovery winch: loosing oil through relief valve Hello all. I have a strange problem with my M1078 self recovering winch. On top of the winch drum (behnid the hydraulic motor) there is a small spring loaded valve. I loose all the time oil from this valve, without operating the winch at...

    Looking for input from folks building camper boxes on lm/fm trucks on heat & a/c

    I have a Webasto ThermalPro 90 water heater. The big advantage of water heater is that you can connect it over a heat exchanger to the coolant system of the engine. I did it due low temperatures in the winter. Preheating the engine 15 minutes eliminates completely the starting issues on cold...

    CTIS and Arduino

    For everyone that want build a new CTIS ECU: Don't forget flyback diodes, it drove me crazy trying out why sometimes the Arduino reset without any reason when shutting off the valves... Seems that no diodes are in the solenoids... Happy hacking! Christian

    CTIS and Arduino

    Hello Forum. Time is running and project is going on. I finish the configuration mode that enable (when you short a contact inside) to manually inflate / deflate the tires and to save the actual pressure as new default pressure for the 4 diffrent modes. I also add a switch to cutoff the power in...
