Ok so I'm wondering if my prepass is working properly. From what I understand,it's supposed to be: green means go, red means pull in.

But Everytime I pass the sensors I get all three lights illuminated. (Yellow too) They are reading it though because I still get the lighted sign messages : "truck ok to bypass weigh station".

Even when it's just a standard setup weigh station and It says "prepass follow in cab signals" I still get all three lights. I always pull in and always get the bypass lane. What gives? Is that just how it is in a lot of places? Or is mine being weird?

I think you need to replace your batteries. I'm pretty sure that when all 3 lights come on that's an indication that your batteries are weak. Try that and let us know what happens.

My second truck's PrePass deactivated and did something similar. In the background, the PrePasses are re-registered every year. My truck's number was changed and the system flagged it even though the VIN was correct. Our permits department had to re-register me. It took 24 hours to correct

Talk to the person in charge of your permts.

10/4

Also, it randomly lights up sometimes with no weigh station in sight. Same thing. All three lights. Y'all's do that?

Pretty sure it's your batteries. It will still light up randomly for thirty minutes or so after going by a scale. All 3 colors lighting up is usually a low battery.

Batteries, that's exactly what mine does when it's hungry.

Changed the batteries. Have to pass the scale at the I-10 Florida/Alabama line early tomorrow so we'll see what happens.
