Twice now I have gotten the little orange engine outline symbol to illuminate. If Im not mistaken, the orange means its a soft code and if its red its serious right?


(I've never gotten it red thank goodnes)


Both times it has come on were pulling my trailer after a stop and I forgot to set it in tow/haul mode and the Juice was on either level 1 or 2. Is that the reason?


After a couple shut downs and restarts the light goes out.


Do I have anything to worry about?


Im not slipping or limping or anything odd, it runs just great even with the light on....

This is your first Allison Transmission...and your first Turbo Diesel? Do a little searching and you'll find your code... booste maybe.

Mine throws the light every time I climb a certain hill, it gets annoying, I just reset it with the quad. I bet you a buck your code is a 0234 (overboost/maf)

Ok, so basically dont worry about it and remember to engage tow/haul





Any YES, both times were on grades!
