The driver is always responsible for the control and safe operation of the vehicle at all times. HSA interfacesįIGURE 1 - BENDIX ® EC 80 ™ ABS AND ATC CONTROLLERS
ATC utilizes Engine Torque Limiting (ETL) where the ECU communicates with the engine’s controller and/or Differential Braking (DB) where individual wheel brake applications are used to improve vehicle traction.īendix EC 80 ATC controllers also have the capability to provide a Hill Start Assist (HSA) feature.
#Bendix abs diagnostics plus#
Bendix ® ATC can improve vehicle traction during acceleration, plus lateral stability while driving through curves. In addition to the ABS function, the ATC version of the Bendix EC 80 controller provides an Automatic Traction Control (ATC) feature. However, the Bendix EC 80 controller is able to pump the brakes on individual wheels (or pairs of wheels) independently, and with greater speed and accuracy than a driver. When excessive wheel slip, or wheel lock-up is detected, the Bendi圎C 80 controller will activate the Pressure Modulator Valves to simulate a driver pumping the brakes. By monitoring individual wheel turning motion during braking, and adjusting or pulsing the brake pressure at each wheel, the Bendix EC 80 controller is able to optimize slip between the tire and the road surface.
ABS controllers are also known as Electronic Control Units (ECUs).īendix ® ABS uses wheel speed sensors, ABS modulator valves, and an ECU to control either four or six wheels of a vehicle. Refer to BW2538 for the diagnostics and troubleshooting CD and BW2329 for the Bendix ACom 5.3 CD.See SD-13-21021 for the Bendix ® eTrac ™ Automated Air Suspension Transfer Systemīendix ® EC 80 ™ ESP(+) Controllers will be featured in SD 13-4986.īendix ® EC 80 ™ ABS and ATC controllers are members of a family of electronic Antilock Braking System (ABS) devices designed to help improve the braking characteristics of air braked vehicles - including heavyand medium-duty buses, trucks, and tractors. The CD includes information and tips on all current as well as most earlier generations of Bendix tractor ABS applications.īoth tools are offered in CD-ROM format and can be ordered at or by phoning 80. It covers current and most earlier generations of both tractor and trailer ABS applications from Bendix, including the ABS-6 Advanced with ESP electronic stability program.Ī separate tool, the Bendix ABS Repair and Diagnostic CD, serves as a reference for training technicians. It interfaces with the vehicle, reduces troubleshooting steps, and directs the technician straight to the diagnostic trouble code.
