This software provides the technician with access to all the
available ECU diagnostic information and confi
guration
capability. For Bendix Wingman Advanced diagnostics,
use ACom Diagnostics version 6.3 (or higher).

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 Advanced 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
fi rst be resolved, with no
trouble codes present during the vehicle operation
while in cruise control, before attempting to
diagnose Bendix
® Wingman ® Advanced ™ diagnostic
trouble codes.
