A Bendix ATR-6 valve that has already been disabled will cause the
ATC/ESP vehicle dash lamp to continuously illuminate. In addition,
disabled valves should have a pin removed from inside the solenoid
connector, and a small plug installed inside the valve. In most cases,
a marker (or tie-wrap) will also be found on the solenoid housing.
Temporary remedy has been installed. Your vehicle OEM will
contact you to schedule the final remedy.
A date code is pin-stamped (not cast) on every Bendix valve (following
the part number). Locate the date code – removing the paint coating, if
necessary – to read the code.
