Yellow | It’s Cold and my new Peterbilt won’t stay running

[Nevergreen]

Can anyone tell me how to bybass the idle shutdown

I work at xpo my 2017 Freightliner has the Cummins engine. Shuts down after 3 minutes. To bypass it, the check engine light should start to flash about 30 seconds b4 shutdown, try stepping on foot brake 2 times, that might work...

Tried everything, haven’t found anything that works, will stay running if below 11 degrees outside.

Just drive somewhere that the outside temperature is below 10 degrees, my Pete stayed running all night at 2 below last night!

Set up a 3 minute shutdown for heat and air conditioning to the CEO’s offices and all lawmakers. They might get the message

Company does'nt care if your cold as there in a nice warm office ! And only way is to find a mechanic with a lap top that can shut off the shut down mode and pay for it yourself to have it done & don't say anything !

I have better advice, go somewhere that's 75 degrees, why would you want to be in a place that's minus 2 degrees?
I wonder about you Holland guys!

Carry a brick with you in the cab, and lay it on the accelerator when you’re parked with engine running

Brick idea won't work. Cummins parameter for ambient temp override within a set min or max temp must be enabled. Otherwise you'll have to hit pedal, no other way around it

I'm not sure that would even work, you can chock the wheels leave both buttons pushed in and it still shuts off.

Do like that guy Maxi, over at T Force wants to do. Have the company change linehaul to day runs, when the suns out, take a pay cut though, and have those bastard p and d guys run at night. I’m sure all the customers will want to ship their freight out at night, too…

That use to work, but since we had too many roll away we had to reprogram the ecu to shut off even with the P brake released, constant rpm with no speed input should also shut it down.
But if you come up with a device to pump the fuel pedal up and down that should work :)

That wasn't a problem with my KB 11 with no heater.
Problem was getting the thing started with a 6-volt dragging starter.

Start with one of these, it can be done.

Or just jack up the drive axle(s), put jack stands underneath for safety, set the cruise control to 63 mph and watch the miles accumulate as you sit there comfortably getting paid for all that distance covered!

Set your trailer brakes , and not the tractor .

All these suggests worked with the older trucks but the junk Petes will still shut down no matter what , only way is to have in shut off in the computer ! P.S. They don't care as your just employee number 15 to them !!

There was. And some of our " new wave" politicians in this country tried to have the old song band. They failed.

I didn't know the 5tolls reproduced. Amazing the wealth of knowledge you get on TB. I was band from Farcebook.
