“Internal Lateral Acceleration Sensor - Mounting Error” Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The purpose of this Bulletin is to assist technicians 
when troubleshooting Bendix
®
 TABS‑6
 Advanced 
single‑channel trailer ABS modules, where an “Internal 
Lateral Acceleration Sensor ‑ Mounting Error” (internal 
code 14D00, or SID‑FMI 99‑14, or blink code 8‑1), is 
causing an illuminated trailer ABS lamp.  
P/Ns K027233, K029053, K027235, K032041, K032042, 
K027241, K035805, K032108, K041383, and K065528.
This Bulletin covers the potential causes for this DTC.
A1.  Check the orientation of the Electronic 
Control Unit (ECU) installation.
Each Bendix TABS‑6 Advanced ECU comes 
preconfigured for a certain orientation.  Use the Bendix
®
 
ACom
®
 Diagnostics software [free software downloads 
are available at www.bendix.com] to view the current 
configured  orientation  of  the  ECU  on  the  Controller 
Configuration screen. Then use Figure 1 below to verify 
if the TABS‑6 Advanced ECU is installed as configured. 
•  If the configuration matches, go to B.  
A2. If the configured orientation does not match the 
physical orientation, use the Bendix ACom diagnostic 
software to:
•  change  the  configured  orientation  to  match  the 
installation;
•  verify that the speed sensors are installed correctly 
for this configured orientation (see Figure 1); and
•  perform an End‑of‑Line Test (EOL Test) using the 
software or a Bendix
®
 Trailer Information Module
.
Recheck for any remaining DTCs and return the vehicle 
to service.  
B. Check if the wheel speed sensors ‘SC’ and 
‘SD’ are swapped
This  DTC  is  caused  by  the  ECU  comparing  the 
difference in wheel speed readings between the left 
and right wheel speed sensors to cross‑check with the 
on‑board lateral accelerometer.  Reversed sensors can 
cause a DTC to falsely trigger.  Wheel speed sensors 
‘SC’ and ‘SD’ locations are ECU‑orientation specific 
(See Figure 1).
