RDU

Reset Function

The magnetic reset switch is located in the center top of

the RDU

tool. Activation requires a magnet with 30 gauss

minimum.
The reset operations are:
1. If the magnet is held over the switch for less than 6

seconds the "clear current diagnostic trouble codes"

command is sent.

2. If the magnet is held over the switch for more than 6

seconds, but less than 30 seconds, the Bendix

®

ABS

"self-configuration command" is sent.

Additionally, it is recommended at the end of any inspection

that the user switches off and restores the power to the

ABS ECU, then check the ABS Indicator Lamp operation

and RDU

tool to see if they indicate any remaining

Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

RDU

Communication Problems

If the ABS ECU does not respond to the RDU

tool’s

request for diagnostic trouble codes, the RDU

tool will

illuminate each red LED in a clockwise pattern. This pattern

indicates the loss of communication and will continue until

the ABS ECU responds and communication has been

established.
Possible sources of communication problems are:
1. A problem with the J1587 link at the in-cab off-board

diagnostic connector (9 or 6 Pin).

2. The ECU does not support PID194.
3. No power is being supplied to the ECU and/or the

diagnostic connector.

4. The J1587 bus is overloaded with information and the

RDU can not arbitrate access.

5. A malfunctioning RDU

tool.
