    I have an RV that started life as a 2001 Freightliner Century last four of VIN 9796. It has a Detroit 60 series. Other than the RV conversion in back the front is all stock Freightliner.

    The engine turns but won't start. While cranking I get the red engine prot light flashing and when I stop cranking the dash says low voltage. I checked the codes and it flashed me red 25 and yellow check engine 24, 22, and 77. We can't get a real scanner on it until next week.

    So far we have tried:

    New battery
    Jumping with boost charger and new battery
    Squirting WD-40 into intake access plug

    Same result, turns but no start and same messages.

    Any ideas on what to try next?

    Thanks

    Possibly bad fuel temp sensor.

    Have you checked the fuel system?

    i would start with checking the fuse in the power wire that goes to the computer. it should be in the small wire in your battery box. none of those codes will prevent it from starting.
