My wife's 11' Edge will do the full gauge sweep every time you start it.

Mine does it every time but I am also getting a code for low voltage on my Kam circuit. I'm pretty sure I need a new PCM but as long as it keeps cranking and driving then I will put it off. I have changed and cleaned grounds and battery. My alternator is also healthy.

FWIW: In the '99 and in the '03, both only sweep when the battery is failing or has been disconnected.

It started again yesterday. Now it Only Does It over night. I found my multi-meter today so I'm gonna of course pull the terminals while it's running and see if it stays running then see how what the voltage is on the battery and what the alternator is putting out.

It's not throwing any codes at all?

Sounds good. I hope it's something simple.
