If you can find the blink code switch you don't need a reader.

I'm not hearing back from you on this question or your earlier one. If we can get in real time chat I can help you.

You gave me a negative rating. If you won't respond to me that's unfair. I can help you if you give me the chance.

Customer replied 289 days and 20 hours ago.

I regret the rating but you have not given me the assistance I asked for.

You did not respond to my questions or engage me in on line chat and you opened up another question. ABS is complicated to diagnose and the best way to do is it through a live chat so we can do Q&A in real time.

Customer replied 289 days and 19 hours ago.

I appreciate the complexity issue but since you cannot give me any instructions as to ..how do I locate the "switch" in question, I am as ignorant as ever

OK. There should be a blink code switch on the vehicle. It may be on the dash board or in the electrical box. I cannot tell you because RV manufactures decide where to put. In the past I have called RV manufacturers asking where they out the blink code switch and they have been unable to tell me.When the chassis comes from Freightliner or whomever it it has the harness for the blink code switch but not the switch. The RV manufacturers are not consistent in where they put the so I am unable to tell you where to find the switch. It may be on the dash or with the ECU. You asked me if there was anything you can check visually. You can crawl under the vehicle and check to be sure that there are no disconnected cables from the sensors at each wheel are damaged cables the modulator valves are in series with the brake chambers and have a screw on connector. That's about all you can do by a visual check. Most of the problems on ABS are either a sensor out of adjustment or damaged wire. I can tell you all this with confidence since before I retired I was a field rep and trainer for the largest supplier of medium and heavy vehicle ABS. Your owners manual may tell you where the ABS blink code switch is if it does please respond back to and I can explain how to extract the fault codes. Also as I said in my AM post there is no safety hazard driving and ABS vehicle with the ABS warning lamp. If you need further assistance I will do my best to help.
