POWER-UP SEQUENCE

ABS Warning Lamp at Power-Up

At power-up without detected faults, the ABS warning lamp
turns on for 2.5 seconds and then turns off. See fi gure 7.

ATC Active / Warning Lamp at Power-Up

At power-up, the ATC active/warning lamp displays the
ATC control confi guration and then turns off. A series of
blinks indicates if the ATC is confi gured for engine torque
limiting and differential braking, engine torque limiting only,
or differential braking only. See fi gure 7.

Diagnostic LEDs at Power-Up

At power-up, the diagnostic LEDs all turn on, then display
the confi guration for sensors and the ATC. After showing
the confi guration, only the green VLT LED will stay on.
However, if a fault is detected, the faulted component will
be identifi ed by the red LEDs. See chart 4.

Trailer ABS Warning Lamp

At power-up, the trailer ABS warning lamp turns on for 2.5
seconds and then turns off. This only occurs if a PLC trailer
or PLC diagnostic tool is connected to the tractor at the
time ignition power is applied. Only an EC-30

controller

with PLC installed on a towing vehicle will support the
trailer ABS lamp.

Retarder Disable Relay at Power-Up

At power-up, the EC-30

controller may toggle the retarder

disable relay. If the relay is located in the cab it is usually
audible to the operator.

Modulator Chuff Test at Power-Up

At power-up, the EC-30

controller activates a patented

modulator chuff test. The modulator chuff test is an
electrical and pneumatic ABS modulator test, that can
assist the technician in verifying proper modulator wiring
and installation. With brake pressure applied, a properly
installed modulator causes a single sharp audible chuff
of air pressure by activating the hold solenoid two times
and the exhaust solenoid once. If the modulator is wired
incorrectly, the modulator will produce a double chuff, or
no chuff at all. The EC-30

controller activates a chuff at

each modulator in the following sequence:

Right-Front, Left-Front, Right-Rear, Left-Rear. See fi gure 8.

The chuff sequence is then repeated for a total of 8 chuffs. If
an issue is detected during the modulator chuff test, look for
faults and compare the modulator wiring and plumbing to the
EC-30

controller system schematic shown in fi gure 13.
