4. If the work is being performed on the vehicle's air brake
system, or any auxiliary pressurized air systems, make
certain to drain the air pressure from all reservoirs
before beginning ANY work on the vehicle. If the
vehicle is equipped with an AD-IS
a dryer reservoir module, be sure to drain the purge
reservoir.
5. Following the vehicle manufacturer's recommended
procedures, deactivate the electrical system in a
manner that safely removes all electrical power from
the vehicle.
6. Never exceed manufacturer's recommended pressures.
7. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing
pressure; it may whip. Never remove a component or
plug unless you are certain all system pressure has
been depleted.
8. Use only genuine Bendix
components and kits. Replacement hardware, tubing,
hose, fi ttings, etc. must be of equivalent size, type
and strength as original equipment and be designed
specifi cally for such applications and systems.
9. Components with stripped threads or damaged parts
should be replaced rather than repaired. Do not
attempt repairs requiring machining or welding unless
specifi cally stated and approved by the vehicle and
component manufacturer.
10. Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain all
components and systems are restored to their proper
operating condition.
11. For vehicles with Automatic Traction Control (ATC),
the ATC function must be disabled (ATC indicator
lamp should be ON) prior to performing any vehicle
maintenance where one or more wheels on a drive
axle are lifted off the ground and moving.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE – ABS AND
BRAKE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT NOTE: All vehicle trouble codes related
to the engine, transmission, instrument cluster, engine
cruise control and Bendix
must have the issue resolved, with no trouble codes
present during the vehicle operation while in cruise
control, in order to accurately diagnose Bendix
Wingman ® ACB trouble codes.
ABS Maintenance - Optimal Bendix
performance requires a properly maintained ABS system.
Have any ABS Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) corrected
by a qualifi ed technician at the earliest opportunity.

Brake Maintenance - Optimal Bendix
performance requires properly maintained truck foundation
brakes (S-Cam or air disc) which meet appropriate safety
standards and regulations. Brake performance also
requires that the vehicle be equipped with properly sized
and infl ated tires, with a safe tread depth.

MAINTENANCE
To keep the system functioning properly perform the
following:
1. Keep the sensor lens clean and free of obstructions.
2. Inspect for any damage to the bumper or Bendix
®
Wingman ACB sensor to ensure that sensor alignment
has not been compromised.
3. Perform appropriate inspections of the braking system
as required by the vehicle manufacturer to ensure
brakes are in proper working order.
4. Ensure that the tires are properly infl ated and that
adequate tread is present.
Sensor Inspection - The driver should regularly inspect the
radar sensor and mounting and remove any mud, snow,
ice build-up, or other obstructions.
Sensor Damage / Misalignment / Tampering - In cases
where the bumper and/or sensor are found to have
sustained damaged, are misaligned, or if you suspect the
sensor has been tampered with, do not use the Bendix
®
Wingman ACB system until the vehicle has been repaired
and the sensor realigned. Typically, an indicator on the
dash will illuminate if the system detects any of these
conditions. Consult the Vehicle Operator's Manual or
contact Bendix for more information.
NOTE: Any vehicle trouble code that disables vehicle
cruise control will also cause a trouble code in Bendix
®
Wingman ACB.
