System Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Importance of Foundation Brake Maintenance – Optimal
Wingman Advanced system braking requires properly maintained
truck foundation brakes (drum, wide-drum, or air disc) which meet
appropriate safety standards and regulations. Brake performance
also requires that the vehicle be equipped with properly sized and
infl ated tires, with a safe tread depth.
Importance of ABS Maintenance – Optimal Wingman Advanced
system braking requires a properly maintained ABS (Antilock Brake
System) system. Have any ABS Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
corrected by a qualifi ed technician at the earliest opportunity.
