    CTIS Theory questions.

    I have overhauled the air dryer system on my truck and entirely rebuilt it. It is a very simple system. The purge command comes directly from the compressor governor via a small airline from the governor (not the air line to the storage tank). When the compressor unloads, the dryer purges by...

    CTIS Theory questions.

    I too have a semi-working CTIS on my A3. Being an experienced heavy equipment mechanic as well as an engineer, I contacted the folks at CM to see if they could assist and provide additional troubleshooting insight as well as understanding so I could document better for all of us how to...
