    Very bad advise. There is no "just" turning them off. First of it's illegal to modify the emission system and we're not suppossed to discuss that here, but more importantly, the Acert has 18:1 compression. Simply turning them off will build too much cylinder pressure and is a really good way to blow a head gasket. Unless you are very good at modifying a flash file to keep cylinder pressure down or want to overhaul the engine with lower compression pistons, don't disable the actuators.

    Grape ape I have a flash code 95. I have replaced the sensor and the selenoid. Also put a new engine harness all around and I still get code. But only when I pull a trailer not when I bobtailing. Any thoughts? Running me crazy.

    We’ve had a problem on 2 BXS’s now that threw the same code. Both engines it was a broken wire in the harness to the oil rail pressure sensor/regulator. The break was in the harness just below the plug behind the A/C compressor. If you plug a new regulator in and still have the same code look at the harness.
