TRAILER COLD INFLATION PRESSURES (CIP)
Program CIP of Axles in TrailerLink ™ System by Bendix CVS ECU
CIP Programming Procedure
TPMS pressure warning levels are calculated as a percentage of a tire’s cold inflation pressure (CIP).
The default levels are 15% below the CIP (temperature compensated) for the first alert level, and 20%
below the CIP (non-temperature compensated) for the second warning level. The default CIP
programmed into the TrailerLink
™
system ECU is 100psi for all axles. Each axle can be configured to
have a unique CIP. If the case arises where different CIP values are required, the programming
procedure detailed on the next two pages should be used.
Perform the following steps:
1. Power-up the TrailerLink
™
system ECU. In most cases the trailer will need to be connected to
a tractor in order to receive power. The diagnostic LED on the TrailerLink system harness can
be viewed at power-up to ensure that the ECU has power.
2. Using the Maintenance Hand Tool, press and hold the Setup button until a list of menu
items appear.
3. Select the Trailer CIP menu item and press the Return button.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to configure the system for the total number of
axles installed on the trailer. A maximum of five (5) axles can be configured. When the correct
number of axles is selected, press the Return
button.
5. Next, adjust the CIP value for each axle. The default value of 100psi will be shown on the
screen (if imperial units are selected).
Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to adjust the value of the CIP. Holding down the arrow buttons will
cause the values to increment at an increasing rate. Press the Return/Right button to advance to the next
axle.
