FIGURE 2 - Overview of ABS Operation
ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
ABS-controlled braking ensures optimum vehicle stability
while minimizing the stopping distance. During vehicle
operation, the ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
continuously monitors all wheel speed sensors. Data input
from the wheel speed sensors allows the ECU to:
•
Detect impending wheel lock.
•
Maintain optimum wheel slip during braking.
•
Maximize vehicle stability while maintaining braking
effectiveness.
ABS Operation
The ABS controls braking by operating the Pressure
Modulator Valves. The ECU makes a new assessment of
conditions and updates the control signal to the pressure
modulator valves at the rate of 100 times per second.

When inactive, the pressure modulator valves provide
straight-through-passages for supply air to the brake
chambers. During ABS operation (an ABS “event”), the
control unit operates the valves to override the supply of
air to the chambers. During an ABS release, supply air is
held off while the chambers are vented to the atmosphere.
In hold mode, supply air is held off and chamber air is held
constant. When required, air is applied to the chamber at
a controlled rate by modulating the hold side of the
modulator valve.
The ABS system itself does not apply additional braking
power. Rather, the purpose of ABS is to limit brake torque
to prevent locking that results in loss of lateral stability and
increased stopping distances. Cautious driving practices
such as maintaining adequate distances from the vehicle
ahead are still essential to safe vehicle operation.
FIGURE 3 - ABS Indicator Lamps
ABS Component Function
The ABS system operates as follows (see Figure 2).
1. Speed sensors on each wheel monitor wheel rotation.
2. Each speed sensor communicates wheel rotation pulses
to the central Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
3. The ECU receives speed sensor input, interprets the
signal pulses, and calculates speed and acceleration
rates for the wheels and the vehicle.
4. Based on speed sensor input with the brakes applied,
the ECU detects impending wheel lock and operates
the ABS modulator valves as required for proper control.
The modulator valves can be operated in either a release
or a hold mode to regulate air pressure in the brake
chambers.
5. Braking force is applied at a level which minimizes
stopping distance while maintaining as much lateral
stability as possible.
ABS Indicator Lamp
This lamp is the primary indicator of the ABS status.
•
The ABS lamp illuminates steadily for a two second
bulb-check whenever the switched ignition is ON. The
ABS lamp turns OFF after the bulb-check if there are
no ABS malfunctions present.
•
The ABS lamp flashes on and off continuously when
the off-highway mode is selected. (Special option for
military and off-highway vehicles.)
•
If the Indicator Lamp remains ON, after the bulb-check,
there is an ABS diagnostic trouble code that requires
service.
NOTE: In the case of a speed sensor failure which has
been corrected, the indicator lamp will remain on until
sensor output has been verified by the control unit. In this
case it is necessary to move the vehicle above 5 mph before
the indicator lamp will turn off.
ABS Trailer Indicator Lamp
Tractor/Towing vehicles manufactured on or after March 1,
2001 are equipped with a cab mounted “ABS Trailer”
indicator lamp.
When an ABS equipped trailer with Power Line Carrier
(PLC) communications capability is connected to the tractor,
the ABS Trailer indicator lamp will illuminate for a two second
bulb check after the ignition is switched on. The ABS lamp
turns OFF after the bulb-check if there are no ABS
malfunctions present on the trailer ABS.
If the trailer is NOT equipped with ABS or ABS with PLC
capability, the ABS trailer indicator lamp in the cab will not
illuminate.
FIGURE 4 - ATC Indicator Lamp
Automatic Traction Control (ATC) System
The ATC system is available on all Standard ABS ECU’s.
ATC is not available on Basic ECU’s. It helps improve
traction on slippery or unstable driving surfaces by
preventing excessive wheel spin. ATC also enhances
vehicle stability by prevention of power spin-out.
ATC requires:
1. ATC valve - Either a stand alone valve or a Rear Axle
Valve Assembly with integral ATC solenoid may be used.
2. SAE J1922 or J1939 engine interface (the ABS ECU
serial data interface must match the engine controller
interface).
3. Brake Light Switch input.
4. ATC Indicator Lamp.
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) must be configured for
ATC operation either by using the diagnostic switch, an
MPSI ProLink® hand-held tester or Eaton’s ServiceRanger
PC software.
ATC Operation
During periods of wheel slip, the Electronic Control Unit
enters an Automatic Traction Control mode. There are
various modes of Automatic Traction Control.
System operation:
•
At speeds above 25 mph, the engine is throttled back
via the SAE J1922 or SAE J1939 data link to control
spin out.
•
At speeds below 25 mph, both engine control and
differential brake control are activated as required to
control wheel slip. Once triggered, differential braking
mode remains active regardless of vehicle speed.
•
An optional mud and snow switch allows greater wheel
spin (more torque) when activated. It is intended for
adverse conditions, usually off-highway. Except for
special cases, the switch is programmed for momentary
operation. ATC reverts to normal operation when the
switch is cycled a second time and whenever the system
goes through a power-up cycle.
Component Function
When brake control is utilized, the ATC valve is activated,
diverting supply tank air to the Modulator Valves on the
drive axle(s). The Electronic Control Unit then activates
the appropriate solenoids in order to apply a brake force to
the spinning wheel. The Automatic Traction Control System
cannot increase traction to a particular wheel; it can only
utilize the available traction.
Thermal (Brake Heat) Protection
To prevent excessive brake and drum temperature resulting
from brake activity, ATC incorporates a brake temperature
estimation algorithm to determine when differential braking
mode should be suspended. The differential braking
function is re-enabled after a cool-down period.
ATC Indicator Lamp
The ATC indicator lamp operates when a vehicle is
equipped with the optional Automatic Traction System.
•
Gen 4™ ABS – Lights at key-ON and remains lit with
ATC inactive until the driver presses the brake pedal.
•
Gen 5™ ABS – Lights at key-ON and turns off after a 2
second lamp check. ATC is active after the lamp check.
•
Flashes rapidly to indicate that ATC is active.
•
Flashes slowly when the “mud-and-snow” mode is
selected and then flashes more rapidly when the
automatic traction control system operates.
•
Remains ON if an engine data link failure occurs.
NOTE: Some non-ATC equipped vehicles have an ATC
lamp that is labeled as a spin light. It indicates when a low
traction condition has been encountered. No control action
is taken.
Bendix ABS components include:
•
Electronic Control Unit (ECU): The ECU monitors
and controls the ABS. It also diagnoses ABS
malfunctions and stores specific diagnostic trouble
codes.
•
Pressure
Modulator

ABS Valves
The ABS modulator valve controls air pressure to individual
brake assemblies. Depending on the particular ABS
configuration, a system may utilize three, four or six
modulator valves. See Figure 8.
Each modulator valve contains two air control solenoids,
which act as pilots to the hold and release diaphragms.
The hold solenoid blocks inlet air to brake chambers; the
release solenoid removes pressure from the brake. The
3-pin threaded connector has pins for the hold and release
solenoid and a third, common terminal.
Rear Axle Valve Assemblies
Rear Axle Valve Assemblies are available for some
applications depending on OEM preferences. They are
combinations of two modulator valves and a relay valve.
The assemblies are available in 4.0 and 5.5 PSIG versions,
with or without an integral ATC solenoid.

Speed Sensors
Each wheel of an axle under direct ABS control is monitored
by a speed sensor. Speed sensors for drive axles and steer
axles may be different styles and installed in different
locations.
Wheel End Sensors
For most applications, Bendix ABS uses standard wheel
end sensors (see figure 15). The front sensor is accessible
on the inboard side of the steering knuckle. The rear drive
axle sensor is accessible by removing the wheel and drum
assembly.
Wheel-end sensors are conventional, single point, variable
reluctance sensors. These are often referred to as
"magnetic sensors" or "magnetic pickups." These sensors
consist of a rod or pole piece surrounded by a coil of wire.
A magnet is closely coupled to the pole piece and circulates
a magnetic field through the coil. As the teeth of the tone
ring rotate past the pole piece, the resistance (reluctance)
to the magnetic field varies. The variable reluctance causes
variations in the magnetic field which in turn induce a varying
voltage in the coils which are wound around the pole piece.
Some general characteristics of variable reluctance,
magnetic sensors are:
•
The output voltage decreases as the air
gap increases.
•
The output voltage increases with the speed of the teeth
past the pole piece.
•
The output voltage waveform is independent of the
direction of wheel rotation.
Wheel-End Sensors are protected with stainless steel metal
sheaths. They are designed to fit within beryllium-copper
friction sleeves which give them a self-adjustment feature.

WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW
THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
TO
AVOID
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following
general precautions should be observed at all times.
1.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brakes, and always block the wheels.
Always wear safety glasses.
2.
Stop the engine and remove ignition key when
working under or around the vehicle. When
working in the engine compartment, the engine
should be shut off and the ignition key should be
removed. Where circumstances require that the
engine be in operation, EXTREME CAUTION should
be used to prevent personal injury resulting from
contact with moving, rotating, leaking, heated or
electrically charged components.
3.
Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble or
assemble a component until you have read and
thoroughly understand the recommended
procedures. Use only the proper tools and observe
all precautions pertaining to use of those tools.
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™ air dryer system or 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® replacement parts,
components and kits. Replacement hardware,
tubing, hose, fittings, etc. must be of equivalent
size, type and strength as original equipment and
be designed specifically 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 specifically 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 Antilock 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.
Troubleshooting Procedures
Figure 17 shows an organized approach to troubleshooting
ABS trouble codes. Follow the steps listed below to locate
and correct ABS component and wiring problems.
1. Check that the ABS ECU configuration corresponds to
the ABS components installed on the vehicle.
Reconfigure the ECU if the configuration does not match
the installed ABS components.
2. Access active diagnostic trouble code(s). Inactive
(historical) diagnostic trouble codes are also reported
and may provide additional information to aid in
troubleshooting.
3. Look up the code description, the possible causes and
the repair procedures provided in this section.
4. Perform the recommended repair procedures.
5. After the repairs are completed, clear all codes and
check for any additional codes.

Check ECU configuration
A wide variety of system configurations are available (refer
to Figure 17). It is important to be able to read system
configurations and to be able to properly reconfigure a
system when necessary.
When to Configure
ECUs are factory configured for the most common
requirements. Basic systems are setup for 4s-4m operation
with retarder control via retarder relay. Standard systems
are setup for 6s-4m operation with retarder control via
engine data link. For applications other than these factory
configurations (for example use of a retarder control relay,
4s-3m operation, 6s-6m operation or traction control), it is
necessary to perform a configuration or “setup” process.
This process sets up the ECU for the components that are
installed so that proper control and fault tolerance will be
implemented. The diagnostic switch, MPSI Pro-Link® tool
or ServiceRanger PC software may be used to configure
to a higher level (add components or functionality). If it is
desired to move the configuration downward (fewer
components than standard), the ProLink tool or
ServiceRanger PC software must be used.
How to Configure
Use the “SYSTEM SETUP” menu with the MPSI ProLink®
tool, the diagnostic switch (refer to page 25 for procedure)
or ServiceRanger PC software. Use of the “SETUP”
function will also clear inactive trouble codes from the
system. However it is recommended that the “CLEAR
TROUBLE CODES” function be used for clearing inactive
codes.
Verification
It is important to verify that the intended configuration has
been obtained. Refer to Figure 20 (page 17) for proper
interpretation of configuration blink codes.

Bendix recommends the use of the following products to
troubleshoot the ABS system:
•
A multimeter or digital volt-ohmmeter (DVOM).
•
Eaton ServiceRanger PC software or an MPSI ProLink®
hand-held tester.
Multimeter
A multimeter can be used to check:
•
Speed sensor circuit resistance.
•
PMV and ATC valve solenoid resistances.
•
ABS power circuit voltages.
•
Engine data link voltages.
•
Retarder control relay.
•
Wiring harness diagnostic trouble codes.
ServiceRanger PC Software
ServiceRanger PC software can be used to read and clear
error codes and obtain a short description of failures. The
software can initiate test sequences for controller outputs
and can also read system data such as voltage at the
ECU, wheel speeds and cutout speeds.
CAUTION: Eaton ServiceRanger PC software can activate
output tests for all output devices. Since these tests can
affect operation of the vehicle braking system, the ECU
incorporates special safety protection. One axle must
show zero speed or the test will be halted.

obtain a short description of failures. The tester can initiate
test sequences for controller outputs and can also read
system data such as voltage at the ECU, wheels speeds
and cutout speeds. A standard heavy duty truck cartridge
may also be used, but cannot initiate test sequences.
CAUTION: The ProLink hand-held tester can activate
output tests for all output devices. Since these tests can
affect operation of the vehicle braking system, the ECU
incorporates special safety protection. One axle must show
zero speed or the test will be halted.
Blink Codes – System Configuration and System Faults.
By properly actuating the ABS diagnostic button,
configuration codes and diagnostic trouble codes can be
retrieved as blinked sequences on the ABS indicator lamp.
Configuration codes are sequences of four blinked digits
while diagnostic trouble codes appear as two blinked
numbers. Refer to the charts beginning on page 19 for a
description of these codes. To perform any of the activities
listed below, simply follow the steps as given. If you make
a mistake during one of the steps, stop and start over at the
beginning of the procedure.
All blink codes are displayed by the ABS indicator lamp
only. The ATC lamp does not display blink codes.
Note: Before attempting any repairs:
1. Retrieve the configuration codes and diagnostic trouble
codes (write them down).
2. Reconfigure the ECU if the configuration does not agree
with the installed hardware. The ECU cannot be
configured downward (components removed) with the
diagnostic button. For example, a 6S-4M cannot be
configured to 4S-4M. Downward configurations require
the use of a ProLink tool or ServiceRanger software.
3. If the configuration is correct, clear the diagnostic trouble
codes. The process for clearing the trouble codes and
reconfiguring the ECU is the same when using the
diagnostic button.
4. Once again retrieve the diagnostic trouble codes. Only
active codes will now be displayed.

The correct resistance for the speed sensor circuit is between 1550 ohms and 2500 ohms.
Measure resistance at the wheel location to check the speed sensor.
Measure resistance at the appropriate ECU harness connector pins to check the cable and speed sensor.
Note: Refer to the chart for pin identification.
FIGURE 24 - Wheel Speed Sensor Harness Circuit Descriptions and Resistance Test
FIGURE 23 - Typical Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit
Speed Sensor Troubleshooting
Follow the steps listed below to locate and correct sensor
related ABS trouble codes.
1. Access active trouble code(s) using either the Blink
Code procedure, with ServiceRanger or the Hand-held
Tester procedure.
2. Lookup the code description, the possible causes and
the repair procedures provided in this section.
3. Perform the recommended repair procedures.
4. After the repairs are completed, clear all codes and
check for any additional codes.
5. If a sensor related trouble code has occurred, a code
17•12 will remain in the system until the vehicle has
been driven.
The 17•12 Sensor Memory Diagnostic Trouble
Code
The ABS indicator lamp indication and 17•12 diagnostic
trouble code are provided to remind the service technician
of the need to verify the performance of the ABS wheel
speed sensors by driving the vehicle after servicing the
sensors. ABS wheel speed sensors do not generate signals
unless the wheels are turning. Because of this, certain
sensor codes can only be detected when the vehicle is in
motion.
The trouble code 17•12 is generated after the initial sensor
codes are cleared. The ABS indicator lamp remains lit.
The trouble codes must be rechecked after clearing the
sensor codes in order to see 17•12 reported.
A 17•12 trouble code and ABS indicator lamp signal for
sensor code cannot be cleared using a ProLink,
ServiceRanger software or the diagnostic button. They can
only be cleared by driving the vehicle. The ABS ECU will
clear the 17•12 blink code and turn off the ABS indicator
lamp when all active sensor code issues are resolved and
the vehicle is driven above 5 mph. The ABS ECU must
detect speeds at all monitored wheels for the condition to
clear.
Procedure:
1. Check trouble codes.
2. Troubleshoot and eliminate causes for all trouble codes.
3. Clear trouble codes.
4. Check trouble codes again (17•12 will be reported if
sensor codes are cleared).
5. If 17•12 error code is reported, drive vehicle above 5
mph (ABS indicator lamp will go out and 17•12 trouble
code will be cleared after a short period if all sensor
signals are acceptable).
Note: If sensor codes still exist, the ABS indicator lamp
will remain lit. The trouble codes will be logged once again
after driving the vehicle. If more than one sensor site is
affected, the codes may not be re-logged by the ECU until
the vehicle has been driven and held above 20 mph for 3-
5 minutes.
For more detailed troubleshooting, monitor the wheel
speeds and cut-out speeds with ServiceRanger or a ProLink
hand-held diagnostic tool. Troubleshoot and repair any
speed sensor not reporting a wheel speed or showing a
high cut-out speed.
Cut-out speeds are an indication of the strength of the
sensor signal to the ECU and are proportional to air gap.
Cut-out speeds should be in the range of 3-8 mph. Lower
numbers indicate a stronger and better signal than higher
numbers. High values indicate a sensor with an unreliable
or non-existent signal.

Action
If necessary, clean and lubricate sensor. Press into mounting hole until it bottoms against
tone wheel. Clear trouble code and verify that code is corrected by test driving the vehicle.
The indicator lamp will remain on until proper sensor output is detected even though the code
has been cleared.
Check sensor resistance. If sensor resistance is out of range, replace sensor. Clean and
lubricate sensor. Press into mounting hole until it bottoms against tone wheel. Clear trouble
code and verify that code is corrected by test driving the vehicle.The indicator lamp will remain
on until proper sensor output is detected even though the code has been cleared. Use
approved lubricant.
Examine tone ring for damage. Replace tone ring and/or hub if necessary. Check wheel
bearing adjustment. Adjust wheel bearings if necessary. Clear trouble code and verify that code
is corrected by test driving the vehicle. The indicator lamp will remain on until proper sensor
output is detected even though the code has been cleared.
Check mechanical function of brake. Check for kinked or restricted hoses. Clear trouble code
and verify that code is corrected by test driving the vehicle.The indicator lamp will remain on
until proper sensor output is detected even though the code has been cleared.
Check for damaged tone ring or excessive run out. Repair tone ring and/or adjust wheel
bearings. Clear trouble code and test drive the vehicle. The indicator lamp will remain on until
proper sensor output is detected even though the trouble code has been cleared.
Use an ohm meter to verify proper sensor resistance (Fig 24). Check harness for shorts or
opens. Repair harness and/or replace sensor as necessary. Clear trouble code and verify that
code is corrected by test driving the vehicle. The indicator lamp will remain on until proper
sensor output is detected even though the trouble code has been cleared.
Clear trouble code and test drive the vehicle. The indicator lamp will remain on until proper
sensor output is detected even though the code has been cleared. If trouble code recurs, or
cannot be cleared, replace ECU.
Check the control unit configuration and verify that sensors are wired in the proper location
for the configuration (Refer to Schematic).

FIGURE 45 - Frame Mount ECU – Pin Identification Chart
ABS — Antilock Brake System.
ABS Event — Impending wheel lock situation that causes the
ABS controller to activate the modulator valve(s).
Air Gap — Distance between the Sensor and tone ring.
Anti-Compounding Valve — Prevents the application of the
service and spring brakes at the same time. Depending on
vehicle design, the anti-compounding valve may be installed in
combination with a relay valve or quick release valve.
Apply Timing — The time from the movement of the service
brake control for each brake chamber to reach 60 psi, with an
initial service reservoir pressure of 100 PSI.
ASR — Automatic Slip Regulation. Another name for traction
control.
ATC — Automatic Traction Control. An additional ABS function
in which engine torque is controlled and brakes are applied
differentially to enhance vehicle traction.
ATC Light — A light that indicates when traction control is
operating.
Channel — A controlled wheel site.
CAN — Controller Area Network. J1939 is an SAE version of
the CAN link.
Clear Codes — System to erase historical faults from the ECU,
from either the Diagnostic Button or from a hand-held diagnostic
tool (only repaired faults may be cleared).
Coefficient of Friction — The horizontal force required to move
a body (on a relatively smooth level surface) divided by the weight
of the body.
Configuration — The primary objective is to identify a “normal”
set of sensors and modulators for the Electronic Control Unit, so
that it will identify future missing sensors and modulators.
Crack Pressure — The ascending input pressure or input force
to an air valve required to initiate output pressure of flow.
Diagonal Control — ABS is configured with two diagonal circuits.
Diagonal control allows each control circuit to provide electrical
control of modulator valves on opposite sides of the vehicle.
Diagnostic Connector — Diagnostic receptacle in vehicle cab
for connection of J1587 hand-held or PC based test equipment.
The tester can initiate test sequences, and can also read system
parameters.
Diagnostic Switch — A switch used to activate blinks codes.
Diagnostic Trouble Code — A condition that interferes with the
generation or transmission of response or control signals in the
vehicle's ABS system that could lead to the functionality of the
ABS system becoming inoperable in whole or in part.
Differential Braking — Application of brake force to a spinning
wheel so that torque can be applied to wheels which are not
slipping.
ECU — Electronic Control Unit.
FMVSS-121 — Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard which
regulates air brake systems.
Friction Sleeve — A beryllium copper sleeve which has fingers
cut into it. It is pressed between an ABS sensor and mounting
hole to hold the sensor in place.
Indicator Lamp — An amber light which indicates the operating
status of an antilock system. When the indicator lamp is on,
ABS is disabled and the vehicle reverts to normal brake operation.
IR — Independent Regulation. A control method in which a wheel
is controlled at optimum slip, a point where retardation and
stability are maximized. The brake pressure that is best for the
wheel in question is directed individually into each brake chamber.
J1587 — The SAE heavy duty standard diagnostic data link.
J1708 — An SAE standard which defines the hardware and
software protocol for implementing 9600 baud heavy vehicle data
links. Both J1587 and J1922 are versions of J1708 data links.
J1922 — The SAE heavy vehicle data link which operates
according to J1708 protocol. It is generally used for ATC or
automatic transmission interface to an engine.
J1939 — A high speed 250,000 baud data link which is expected
to replace J1922.
MIR — Modified Independent Regulation. A method of controlling
the opposite sides of a steer axle during ABS operation so that
torque steer and stopping distance are minimized. Usually control
begins at pure select low and moves towards independent control
as the cycle progresses.
PLC — Power Line Carrier. The serial communication protocol
used to communicate with the trailer over the blue full time power
wire.
PMV — Pressure Modulator Valve. An air valve which is used to
vent or block air to the brake chambers to limit or reduce brake
torque.
QR — Quick Release. Quick release Valves allow faster release
of air from the brake chamber after a brake application. To balance
the system, quick release valves have hold off springs that
produce higher crack pressures (when the valves open).
Relay Valve — Increases the application speed of the service
brake. Installed near brakes with larger air chambers (type 24 or
30). The treadle valve activates the relay valve with an air signal.
The relay valve then connect its supply port to its delivery ports.
Equal length air hose must connect the delivery ports of the relay
valve to the brake chambers.
Release Timing — The measurement in time from initial brake
movement to reach 5 psi with 95 psi initial pressure at the brake
chambers.
Retarder Relay — A relay which is used to disable a retarder
when ABS is triggered.
Select High — A method of ABS control in which the brake torque
is released at several wheels when the last wheel begins to lock.
Select Low — The brake pressures level is the same on both
wheels of a given axle. The pressure level is based on the wheel
which is running at the lower friction coefficient.
Select Smart — The difference in pressure between the left and
right brake chamber does not exceed a certain amount. This
leads to the wheel which is running at the high friction coefficient
being braked less strongly.
Sensor Bushing — A bushing which is pressed into steer axles
to hold a wheel speed sensor and friction sleeve.
Stored Faults — A Fault that occurred.
TCS — Traction Control System, another name for ATC or ASR.
Tone Ring — A ring that is usually pressed into a wheel hub that
has a series of teeth (usually 100) and provides actuation for the
speed sensor. Note maximum run out is .008.
