B. Thermostat and Heater Operation (Refer to Figure
5). Note: These tests can only be conducted during
cold weather operation. Turn off the ignition switch
and cool the thermostat and heater assembly to
below 40°F. Using an ohmmeter, check the resistance
between the electrical pins in the air dryer connector
half. The resistance should be 1.5 to 3.0 ohms for the
12 volt heater assembly and 6.0 to 9.0 ohms for the 24
volt heater assembly. Warm the thermostat and heater
assembly to approximately 90°F and again check the
resistance.
The resistance should exceed 1000 ohms. If the
resistance values obtained are within the stated limits,
the thermostat and heater assembly is operating
properly. If the resistance values obtained are outside
the stated limits, replace the heater and thermostat
assembly.

GENERAL
When rebuilding or replacing components of the air dryer,
use only
genuine Bendix
®
parts. For ease in servicing,
the AD-IS air dryer has been designed so that any of the
maintenance kits shown in this manual can be installed
without removing the air dryer from the vehicle.
Always depressurize the air dryer purge reservoir, and all
other reservoirs on the vehicle to 0 psi before servicing
the air dryer.
If, after completing the routine operation and leakage tests,
it has been determined that one or more components of
the air dryer requires replacement or maintenance, refer
to the previous list to find the appropriate kit(s).
