MOUNTING THE NEW ELECTRONIC CONTROL
UNIT (ECU)
1. Mount the provided adapter bracket in the location where
the original ECU was mounted. The studs should be in
the forward location where the original harness entered
the ECU. Leave the attaching bolts loose. See Figure 7.
Figure 7 - Adapter Bracket
2. Mount the new ECU onto the studs of the bracket and
secure the ECU with the supplied washers and nuts.
Slide the bracket on the original plate to optimize the
ECU location. Ensure the ECU is not in contact with
any other components on the vehicle. Then, tighten the
bolts between the adapter plate and the original bracket.
See Figure 8.

RESTORING THE SMARTIRE
PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
BY BENDIX CVS CONFIGURATION
1. Connect to the Bendix
software.
2. Browse to the Axle Setup screen and configure the
number of axles and tires as per the vehicle configuration.
• If it was possible to back up the previous TPMS
settings, start the same TPMS Backup and Restore
application, but this time, press the Load Settings
button and select the previously saved backup file.
• If it was not possible to back up the previous TPMS
settings, then each tire ID will need to be learned.
Click on a Tire Icon in the ACom PRO diagnostic
software and press the Learn button. Navigate to
the tire to be learned and use the Bendix
Tool to activate the sensor. The sensor should be
learned into the ECU. Repeat these steps for all
other tire locations. The other parameters, such as
Cold Inflation Pressure (CIP) and warning levels,
will have to be modified to suit the application if the
default values provided are not appropriate.
