DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The EC-17
 is an electronic antilock controller. It is the 
base component in a family of full vehicle wheel control 
antilock systems for buses, trucks and truck tractors. In 
addition to the antilock function, the EC-17
 controller can 
be assembled and programmed to provide an optional 
traction control feature. Figure 1 shows the basic EC-17
/
EC-17N
 controller con
fi gurations. 
Designed to minimize the potential of brake lock up on all 
wheels during aggressive braking, the EC-17
 controller 
based antilock system provides the vehicle with a high 
degree of stability and steerability during braking. In most 
cases, vehicle stopping distance is also reduced. The 
antilock portion of the EC-17
 controller based system 
minimizes wheel skid during hard or aggressive braking. By 
controlling wheel skid at all wheels on the vehicle, optimum 
steering control and stopping distance is obtained. 
Traction control, an optional feature in the full vehicle wheel 
control antilock system, helps improve vehicle traction 
during acceleration in adverse road conditions. Integrated 
with antilock logic, traction control monitors wheel speed 
information from the sensors during acceleration, as well 
as braking. The system helps maintain vehicle stability on 
hazardous road surfaces and improves driveability and 
safety. 
The EC-17
 controller contains a self configuring or 
learning feature that allows it to be con
fi gured by the user 
when installed on the vehicle. Because of this feature, all 
EC-17
 controllers contain all the features and options 
available and will activate the speci
fi c features required 
for the vehicle it is installed on. The EC-17
 controller can 
be installed on vehicles with only antilock or vehicles using 
the traction control feature. The procedure for activating the 
self con
fi guring feature is contained in the section entitled 
“Con
fi guring The EC-17
 Controller”. 
In order to provide full vehicle wheel control antilock, the 
EC-17
 controller is used in combination with the following 
components:
  -  Four or six wheel speed sensors 
  -  Four air pressure modulator valves 
  -  One dash mounted antilock condition lamp 
  -  One service brake relay valve
