Blink Code Diagnostics - BENDIX MC-30 TRAILER ABS CONTROLLER Manual

It may be necessary to wait until after the modulator chuff
test before activating brake light power. If wheel speeds are
detected during blink code diagnostics mode, the MC-30
controller will exit blink code diagnostics and return to
normal operating mode. Blink code diagnostics can only
be activated following a power-up, where wheel speeds
have not been detected. Blink code diagnostics must be
activated within 15 seconds of ignition power being applied.
If brake light power is continuously applied for greater than
fi ve seconds, blink code diagnostics will be disabled until
ignition power is cycled.
