We have a 2000 60 series that is showing a code that is a bad backup battery for the ECM.

We can shut the code off and continue . It does not shut the bus off when it pops up. The Prevost (bus) tech said it will never shut the bus down regardless of how many times the code comes up.

Is this true? What is the best price for one of these. Can it be fixed by someone ingenious should someone offer that type of information and help?

What are we giving up with the internal batt bad. Memory I assume. Will it still have saved any prior codes with a bad back up batt or not OR what else has the failure doing besides just flashing a code?

The most inportant question is should we take 1 long trip before servicing it without the threat of the ECM shutting down the bus.

I posed this question on another forum and am confident of the reply but want to verify here if I could. Give my friend and wife a bit more peace of mind for this trip. They just bought the bus and are not mechanics like may here

Thanks in advance.

Here is a link addressing this issue.

This problem won't affect the running of the engine at all. You could just lose some trip data etc.
The back of the ecm is easily removed and just needs to be sealed up well once a new battery has been soldered in.
Anyone handy with a soldering iron can do the repair.

Where can I get that backup battery does it carry a part#?

If I go to an authorized DD service center will they make that repair in that fashon for me, or is the policy normally sell me an entire new one?

If not, with some more help, I would like to try to find one to allow someone local or close to make that fix?

Where can I get one?

Thanks again for all the help.
