Operation
the control unit commands the appropriate modulator valve to
adjust air pressure delivery to prevent wheel lockup.
ABS Self Check
Bendix ABS Checkout: A yellow warning indicator on the
instrument panel indicates the antilock system status.
The
indicator comes on and the system goes through an ABS
self-checkout sequence each time the ignition is turned on.
The system is working normally when ignition is turned on,
indicator comes on, then flashes twice and remains on for
several seconds before going out.
During the self-checkout, the modulator valves will cycle around
the vehicle twice in the following pattern
1.
Right Front
2.
Left Front
3.
Right Rear
4.
Left Rear
A fault has been detected in the ABS if the warning indicator
does not come on with ignition, does not flash, fails to go off or
comes on again at any other time.
If over-braking causes wheel lockup on the rear drive axles
while engine braking devices are in operation, the ABS will
interrupt and disable the engine brake until the lockup situation
has stopped.
If the ABS warning indicator on the instrument panel is lit,
consult your nearest International® Truck service center for
further assistance in maintaining and repairing your ABS.
Antilock Driving Tips
Brake just the way you always have.
Apply brakes as
normal to stop in time. The ABS monitors the brake application
electronically and automatically controls the brakes, much faster
than a driver could do by pumping the brake pedal.
Always remember that you are the most important factor
to safe operation of your vehicle.
Steer clear of traffic,
pedestrians, animals or other obstacles while you are in an
emergency braking situation.
The Antilock tractor and truck
brake system will allow you to steer the vehicle during braking
while it comes to a full stop. ABS is not an excuse to take
unnecessary risks.
Always drive carefully and stay a safe
distance away from the vehicle in front of you.
When driving with a single trailer, doubles, or triples: Brake
as necessary and watch your trailer(s) through your mirrors and
correct steering as necessary to keep in straight lines.
If only your tractor has ABS: Use your tractor’s ABS brakes.
Steer clear of obstacles and watch the trailer through your
mirrors to make sure it follows your tractor properly.
Tractor
ABS will help prevent tractor jackknife but will not prevent trailer
swing out.
