capability. For Bendix Wingman ACB diagnostics, use
ACom Diagnostics version 6.3 (or higher).

SOFTWARE
NOTE: When using ACom Diagnostics for the
fi rst time, the
service technician will be asked to select the communication
adapter for both the Wingman ACB and
Bendix ® EC-60 ™
controllers. While both controllers will use the same
physical adapter, the technician will need to indicate which
communication protocol to use for each. Once a successful
connection has been made, these steps will no longer be
necessary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All vehicle diagnostic trouble
codes related to the engine, transmission, instrument
cluster, engine cruise control and Bendix
® ABS,
ATC or ESP ® systems must first be resolved,
with no trouble codes present during the vehicle
operation while in cruise control, before attempting
to diagnose Bendix
® Wingman ® ACB diagnostic
trouble codes.
