Lateral Adjustment Procedure; Reset Lateral Misalignment Value - BENDIX Wingman ACB Service Data

FIGURE 18 - LATERAL ALIGNMENT VERIFICATION
5. Using a ruler or tape measure, measure the distance
from a symmetrical vehicle point (such as the tow
hooks) to the laser light line. Record this measurement.
See Figure 18.
6. Repeat the same process for the opposite side and
measure the reference distance to the laser line.
7. Compare the left and right distance measurements.
A properly aligned sensor will have the same
measurement from side to side. If these two
dimensions are within 1/8" (3 mm), no alignment is
necessary. If not, perform the LATERAL ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE shown next.
NOTE: Lateral alignment also can be checked with Bendix
®
ACom software (version 6.3 or higher). A value between
-0.8° and 0.8 ° is acceptable and the system should operate
normally. A value between -0.8° to -1.3° OR 0.8° to 1.3°

means the sensor is misaligned and system performance
will be degraded. The service technician should align the
ACB sensor using the procedures noted in the previous
section.
If the value is less than (<) -1.3 or greater than (>) 1.3 the
system will issue a trouble code. The service technician
should align the ACB sensor laterally. A positive value
means the sensor should be aligned toward the driver
side. A negative value means the sensor should be aligned
towards the passenger side. The vehicle must be driven
at least 20 miles between adjustments. See misalignment
value in Figure 21.

LATERAL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

Complete these steps only if lateral adjustment is
necessary.
1. Loosen the 4 lateral position screws. DO NOT
fully remove them. See Figure 19.
2. Adjust the lateral adjustment screw until the desired
alignment is reached. DO NOT remove. See Figure
20. Use steps 4 through 7 in the CHECK LATERAL
ALIGNMENT section to measure.
3 Retighten the 4 lateral position screws to hold the
desired alignment in place.
4. Recheck the lateral alignment as described above.
5. After the lateral alignment procedure is complete, use
the ACom ® service tool to reset the misalignment value.

RESET LATERAL MISALIGNMENT VALUE

If a Diagnostic Trouble Code was logged, then reset the
misalignment value. This can be found from the ACB
status screen under "Confi g". See Figure 8. Then use
the "Modify" function and press the "Reset Misalignment
Value" button. See Figure 21. Then clear the diagnostic
trouble codes by cycling ignition switch power.
