after unhitching truck and then hitting auto level, the coach no longer goes down but it does level for a moment , then center light turns green signaling level. then front jacks begin raising up again and the only way to stop is to shut down. I have tried to repeat but to no avail. I have to manual level. any suggestions why auto level not working

Try unplugging the controller for 5 min. They will sometimes reset themselves

OldRed,

A few things come to mind.

There are 2 sensors for leveling. 1 in the front above the generator and battery compartment, the other is near the rear in the space of the frame. If one of these got bumped hard enough to knock it loose it might cause the condition you are having. Look to see if the one in the front is still secured properly, it should be in the ceiling of that area. Not very likely the one at the rear of the coach would get moved because it is inside the frame and under the floor. If you can get all the jacks down and manually level your coach using a 2 or 3 foot level, I would reset the zero point calibration and see if that makes a difference. Sometimes low battery voltage can cause the 'brain' to do strange things.
I found this in the manual for the LCI leveling system:

Zero Point Calibration
The “Zero Point” is the programmed point that the unit will return to each time the Auto Level feature is used.
The “Zero Point” must be programmed prior to using the Auto Level feature to ensure the proper operation of the
system.
Note: Prior to starting this procedure, double check all connections on the controller, jacks, and touch pad.
1. Manually run the jacks to level the unit. This is best achieved by placing a level in the center of the unit
and leveling it both front to back and then side to side. (See “Basic Jack Operation” for instructions on
how to manually operate the system).
2. Once the unit is level, turn off the touch pad.
3. With the touch pad off, press and release the “FRONT” button (Fig. 1G) ten (10) times and then press
and release the “REAR” button (Fig. 1J) ten (10) times.
4. The touch pad will flash and beep and the display will read “ZERO POINT CALIBRATION ENTER to set,
Power to Exit” (Fig. 5).
5. To set the current position as the zero point, press the “ENTER” button

See if this helps you.

You can also call Lippert Support at 574-537-8900, follow the instructions to get to leveling and anyone who answers can help you.

Or you can go to the Technical Library on this ROG website and read the technical manuals on Lippert Level Up systems.
