Bendix ® RDU ™ Reset Function
The magnetic reset switch is located in the center top of
the RDU ™ tool. Activation requires a magnet with 30 gauss
minimum.
The reset operations are:
1. If the magnet is held over the switch for less than 6
seconds the "clear current diagnostic trouble codes"
command is sent.
2. If the magnet is held over the switch for more than 6
seconds, but less than 30 seconds, the Bendix ® ABS
"self-configuration command" is sent.
Additionally, it is recommended at the end of any inspection
that the user switches off and restores the power to the
ABS ECU, then check the ABS Indicator Lamp operation
and RDU ™ tool to see if they indicate any remaining
Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
Bendix
® RDU ™ Communication Problems
If the ABS ECU does not respond to the RDU ™ tool’s
request for diagnostic trouble codes, the RDU ™ tool will
illuminate each red LED in a clockwise pattern. This pattern
indicates the loss of communication and will continue until
the ABS ECU responds and communication has been
established.
Possible sources of communication problems are:
1. A problem with the J1587 link at the in-cab off-board
diagnostic connector (9 or 6 Pin).
2. The ECU does not support PID194.
3. No power is being supplied to the ECU and/or the
diagnostic connector.
4. The J1587 bus is overloaded with information and the
RDU can not arbitrate access.
5. A malfunctioning RDU ™ tool.
Nexiq Bendix Application Card

ProLink tool. It can also be used to diagnose the EC-30 ™ ,
EC-17 ™ , Gen 4 ™ , Gen 5 ™ , and MC-30 ™ ABS Controllers.

Bendix ® ACom ® Diagnostics Software
Bendix ® ACom ® Diagnostics is a PC-based software
program and is designed to meet RP-1210 industry
standards developed by the Truck Maintenance Council
(TMC). This software provides the technician with access
to all the available ECU diagnostic information and
configuration capability, including:
•
ECU information
• Diagnostic trouble codes and repair information
• Configuration (ABS, ATC, and more)
• Wheel speed information
• Perform component tests
• Save and print information
ACom ® Diagnostics V4.0 software is required to calibrate
the Steering Angle Sensor, the Yaw Rate/Lateral
Acceleration Sensor, the Brake Demand Sensors and the
Load Sensor.
When using ACom
® Diagnostics V4.0 (or higher) software
to diagnose the Bendix EC-60 ABS ECU, the computer’s
serial or parallel port needs to be connected to the vehicle’s
diagnostic connector.
