Alternatively, some vehicles require the EC-60
 controller 
to activate the trailer ABS Indicator Lamp by communicating 
with other vehicle controllers using serial communications.  
(If you need to know if your EC-60
 controller uses a serial 
communications message to operate the lamp, e-mail 
ABS@bendix.com, specifying the ECU part number, or call 
1-800-AIR-BRAKE and speak to the Bendix TechTeam.)
SAE J1708/J1587 Serial Communications 
An SAE J1708 data link, implemented according to SAE 
J1587 recommended practice, is available for diagnostic 
purposes, as well as ECU status messages.
ATC Lamp Output/ATC Off-Road Switch Input 
Premium ECUs control the ATC dash lamp.
The ATC Lamp Illuminates:
1.  During power up (e.g. when the vehicle is started) and 
turns off after the self test is completed, providing no 
diagnostic trouble codes are present.
2.  When ATC is disabled for any reason.
3.  During an ATC event (the lamp will flash rapidly).
4.  When the ECU is placed in the ATC off-road mode (the  
lamp will flash slowly at a rate of 1.0 seconds on, 1.5 
seconds off).  This notifies the vehicle operator that the 
off-road mode is active.
Interaxle Differential Lock Control (AWD Transfer 
Case) 
Premium ECUs can control the interaxle differential 
lock (AWD transfer case).  This is recommended on AWD 
vehicles,  but  the  ECU  must  be  specially  configured  to 
provide this feature.  E-mail ABS@bendix.com for more 
details.
POWER-UP SEQUENCE 
 
WARNING:  The vehicle operator should verify proper 
operation of all installed indicator lamps (ABS, ATC, and 
trailer ABS) when applying ignition power and during 
vehicle operation.  See Figures 6 and 7.
Lamps that do not illuminate as expected when ignition 
power is applied, or remain illuminated, indicate the need 
for maintenance.
ABS Indicator Lamp Operation
The ECU will illuminate the ABS Indicator Lamp for 
approximately three seconds when ignition power is 
applied, after which the lamp will extinguish if no diagnostic 
trouble codes are detected.
The ECU will illuminate the ABS Indicator Lamp whenever 
full ABS operation is not available due to a diagnostic 
trouble code.  In most cases, partial ABS is still available.
ATC Status/Indicator Lamp Operation
The ECU will illuminate the ATC lamp for approximately 
2.5 seconds when ignition power is applied, after which 
the lamp will extinguish, if no diagnostic trouble codes are 
detected.
The ECU will illuminate the ATC Indicator Lamp whenever 
ATC is disabled due to a diagnostic trouble code.
Trailer ABS Indicator Lamp Operation
Certain models of the ECU will control the Trailer ABS 
Indicator Lamp when a PLC signal (SAE J2497) from a 
trailer ABS ECU is detected.
ECU Configuration Test
Within two seconds of the application of ignition power, the 
ECU will perform a test to detect system configuration with 
regards to the number of wheel speed sensors and PMVs.  
This can be audibly detected by a rapid cycling of the PMVs.  
(Note: The ECU will not perform the configuration test when 
wheel speed sensors show that the vehicle is in motion.)
Pressure Modulator Valve Chuff Test
After the performance of the configuration test, the EC-60
controller will perform a Bendix-patented PMV Chuff Test.
