The other day I retrieved the RV from storage to perform my monthly routine of checking systems and some basic maintenance. The Check Engine light was illuminated??
How many of you carry a OBDII code reader? or equivalent?
Luckily I was able to schedule a visit to a local Ford dealership (Ford F53 Chassis) for the following morning and discovered the codes were simply the ECM not liking the battery voltage of the Chassis battery for some unidentifiable reason.
Had I had a code reader I could have checked these codes myself and saved the trip.
 
Thanks for reminding me Joe. I left my OBD reader at home :(
