INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON 
OR AROUND VEHICLES.  
START UP: When power is applied the antilock and traction 
dash warning lamps will illuminate for a period of 2.5 seconds 
while the electronic control unit (ECU) is performing a self 
check, and “Chuff” test. If a trailer being towed has PLC, 
the trailer dash lamp will illuminate for 2.5 seconds then 
turn off unless a fault is indicated. The ABS and traction 
control modulators will be energized during the Chuff test. 
It is recommended during the initial start up that the brakes 
be applied to audibly hear the modulators exhaust during 
the “Chuff’ test.
SERVICE NEEDED: When an issue is detected at start up, 
the dash lights will fl ash and remain illuminated. When a 
dynamic wheel speed issue is detected the dash lamps will 
illuminate as early as 10 mph, indicating a wheel speed issue. 
The dash lamps notify the driver that all or part of the ABS 
function has been disengaged and standard air braking is 
in effect. The ECU will automatically reset most intermittent 
codes (self healing). In most instances, if the intermittent 
code has occurred more than fi ve times the issue will be 
latched and require a magnetic reset. The area of concern 
will always be identifi ed in the diagnostic display.
TRACTION FUNCTION: The ECU monitors wheel spin. 
When a spin condition exist, the traction dash lamp will 
blink continuously indicating the traction control system 
is active. 
IF SERVICING THE VEHICLE DRIVE LINE, 
TRACTION SERVICE ENABLE / DISABLE SWITCH MUST 
BE DISABLED.
(The traction dash lamp will be illuminated)
RESET: The ECU can be magnetically reset by momentarily 
holding a magnet against the RESET area on the controller.
SELF CONFIGURING: During self confi guring the ECU 
will automatically determine the number of sensors and if 
electronic engine equipped. The ECU will also determine if 
the vehicle is traction equipped ONLY if the traction switch 
is toggled prior to magnetically self confi guring. Holding a 
magnet against the RESET area for 30 seconds completes 
self confi guring. 
BLINK CODE ACTIVATION: The ECU will provide blink 
code diagnostics through the use of the blink code switch. 
Details on active faults, fault history, ECU confi guration, and 
clearing of faults can be found in service data SD-13-4815.
