    I would tell u to check the yoke nut make sure its tight if no codes I would think its a batt problem check the battery cables see if you got a loose one will make trans do funny things and abs wont make trans act up uless you have a data link problem but then everything will act up

    The driver show me today....
    - when the gear change to neautral but the selector in drive mode at speed 80-100km/h,press the brake try to slow down the truck and the engine turn off automatically while the vehicle is fully stop. the engine can be start again just after few second.

    - Pablo
    Everything just like normal, active fault codes with climate unit, rear brake lamp, engine air filter sensor faulty, the brake lining sensor faulty, all the fault codes dont related with transmission or gear selector ECU.

    anyhow, will try to get more infomation and diagnos again on tomorrow. battery cable check and also open the gearbox and check with splitter, replace wiring from gear selector ECU to dash socket, cause the air suspension seat might be issue for wiring open circuit, replace wiring from cabin socket to transmission ECU.

    what do you think about major part like Transmission ECU / Gear selector ECU / clutch pump / Vehicle ECU ???

    thanks for advice.

    looks like bad wiring under cab. Really cabovers are made for good roads, and if you run truck on rought pavement, you probably got damaged cab- chasis wiring under cab, dr.side
