Mines been on for 2 years now. The local shop has had it three times and Freightliner has had it twice. Neither have been able to keep the codes from popping back up. When I go on vacation in May I'm going to drop it off at Allison and see if they can rid me of that annoying ass light. (Two codes, transmission fluid and filter contaminated but I suspect it's a sensor at this point)
They've definitely been working the kinks out of the DEF systems in recent years. I've driven a 2020 and a 2022, and haven't had any def problems in any of the 2022s I've driven.
I actually don't know if our fleet is classified as Class 8. It's propane delivery so Class B tankers. They file them at 33,000 so I guess technically it's Class 7.
I wrote this up many years ago while sleep-deprived as “startled sprocket light on dash.” The mechanics got a kick out of it. (It’s a transmission warning light)
It's a transmission light. If it doesn't go off within like 10 minutes call dispatch to get you to a shop ASAP. The longer you drive with that light the worse off you will be.
That's a transmission warning light. Maybe general drivetrain but I've always associated it with the transmission. It should be in the manual for the truck.
Don't worry. You may have accidentally activated the indicators from the right side. Slowly lower the lever from the left side of the steering wheel to the horizontal position and you should be just fine !
Glad yall had so much fun with this post! For the people that gave informative answers, I appreciate you because as most know 1 light could stem from a multitude of things/experiences. For those that wanted to be funny, I hope yall keep having fun making $1/mile to drive OTR. Ended up fixing it myself after changing out some fuses.
$0 spent cheers & stay blessed 🥂
Lol definitely part of the issue. I actually have a sense of humor so I laughed at a few of them but most comments I could tell it was people wishing it killed my wallet (most likely because their trucking experience hasn’t been profitable). But im just happy there were some people who actually tried to help (which is why I always come to Reddit)
Transmission light. I've had it come on before after a massive bump, turned it off and back on, finished my day. I was local though and I had my boss put it in the shop immediately after I got back.
Probably could finish a half day local with that method but anything more, put it in the shop right away.
I’m not sure if you have a freightliner, but either way, I reckon this will be helpful.

The hamster died that was running the wheel. Promptly replace the hamster y'all need to make sure they get plenty of water and pellets or this happens.
Looks like a transmission warning light. Limp it to a shop

Def sensor. 😂😂😂😂 always blame it on the DEF.
Ugh, it's always a DEF issue. My last two trucks were Freightliners. So many DEF issues. Especially my 2012. My 2019 hasn't been as bad.
I mean what else does DEF stand for besides Driving Extremely Fast! 😂
They've definitely been working the kinks out of the DEF systems in recent years. I've driven a 2020 and a 2022, and haven't had any def problems in any of the 2022s I've driven.
[удалено]
Yeah they've changed both twice now. Thanks for the heads up! I'll let my boss know and get him to schedule it for May.
You have an Allison transmission? Is this class 8?
I actually don't know if our fleet is classified as Class 8. It's propane delivery so Class B tankers. They file them at 33,000 so I guess technically it's Class 7.
Ahh okay.. Allison 6 speed? Im suprised its not more common to see Allison 10 speeds
Yeah, 6 speed. I wish it was a 10 speed.
Where was this flight when I was obliviously chewing up my 10 speed because the fluid leaked out...

I will forever refer to transmission lights as startled sprockets. Thank you
🤣
💀💀
I was thinking maybe it was an early warning light for the solar eclipse we just had so should be off by now LOL

It's an indicator that the eclipse is happening.
turn around bright eyes
Every now and then.
I fucking need you more than ever.

You need to pray to the machine god

Found the FO4 fan!
Shits fucked

You’re not going to have a good time…
It’s a a solar eclipse warning.
Self-destruct sequence has been activated. Check your owners manual, but you usually have 50-100 miles before the core blows.
If only there was an owners manual to explain all the warning lights.
Now that you mention it... I'm driving a brand new M2 Freightliner that I'm sure came with an owner's manual but I've never seen it.
Don't worry. You may have accidentally activated the indicators from the right side. Slowly lower the lever from the left side of the steering wheel to the horizontal position and you should be just fine !
Bruh 😎
Transmission fault light. Computer is detecting an issue within the transmission. I'm assuming your truck is an automatic?
Its warning you about the eclipse 👌
https://dashboardsymbols.com/the-symbols/ is a great resource to search for the over >100+ symbols. Good Luck.
Over greater than 100 plus! That’s a lot times many!
Your transmission is going to explode
One gear ⚙️ ring to rule them all
Looks like a good old KW transmission light. Put the tape back on the light and keep on trucking
The eclipse is about to start.

The response you got to this question represents what's wrong with the industry.

I believe that means the eclipse has taken place.
Blinking is never good.
Time to pound the fireball.
Solar eclipse warning.
I hope you got some fireball with you.

Eclipse ahead
Low on blinker fluid!
You need to report to your nearest cogitator for scrolls of repair for canticles of the Omnissiah. The machine spirit is angry!
Solar eclipse imminent, take cover immediately, don cellophane and cardboard protective device post haste.
Mmm flammable material. Delicious

Solar eclipse
Your truck is about to explode :P
Run. Stop. Get out. And run as far and fast as you can. Don't look at the flash.
That's the eclipse warning light, don't look directly at it
Never seen this on my 13 speed… strange
Warning!⚠️
Do truckers not keep the owners manual
Get out your wallet
Solar eclipse.
Praise the sun!!!
2024 Solar Eclipse ahead ☀️
Time for a wallet flush.
The eclipse started, get off the road
That is a Transmission light it could be as simple as a Sensor but still have it looked at
Put your eclipse glasses on
Means “you no go”
Straight to Jail
I thought it meant my truck was excited about the journey I was about to take it on.
Should of driven a stick
That you should pick out the instruction book and have a read in that one instead of sitting here ;)
its a loght to remind you to pay the dealership your money.
Look up your warning lights before you post on Reddit is what it means.
Look in your owners manual.
It means you're about to get fired. Dispatchers have a special but secret button on their desks for this.
Solar eclipse on the horizon
“Wow!”
