FIGURE 29 - Hand-Held Tester Operation Procedures

Test Equipment

Eaton recommends the use of the following products to
troubleshoot the ABS system:

A multimeter or digital volt-ohmmeter (DVOM).

Eaton ServiceRanger PC software or an MPSI ProLink

®

hand-held tester.

This section covers the use of test tools and equipment to
find and correct system problems.

Hand-Held Tester

The hand-held tester employs menu-driven tests for reading
ABS fault codes. See the documentation provided with
the tool for more information.

An MPSI hand-held tester with Bendix proprietary cartridge
can be used to read and clear error codes and obtain a

short description of failures. The tester can initiate valve
test sequences and can also read system parameters
(example: wheel speeds).

Note: The hand-held tester activates output tests for all
output devices. Since these tests can affect operation of
the vehicle’s braking system, the test units incorporate
special safety protection. At least one axle must show zero
speed or the test will be halted.

A standard heavy duty truck cartridge may also be used,
but cannot initiate test sequences.

Figure 29 shows hand-held tester menu option.

Multimeter

Schematics, error codes, and a multimeter can be used to
check sensor and solenoid resistances and to find wiring
harness defects.
