Identifying an ATR-6 valve covered in this field action
ATR-6 Product Action Line: 1-800-478-1793 • 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Friday • 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday
To verify that the cover assembly has been replaced, as part of
the permanent remedy solution, look for a steel tag installed
on a new or repaired Bendix ® ATR-6 ™ valve. Replacement
valve covers also have an orange dot of paint visible inside
the connector housing.
Permanent remedy has been completed.
No further action is required.
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.
• The first field is the month (A = January, B = February, etc. – excluding
the letter I – so that J = September, and so on).
• The next two fields are the date (e.g. 04 = 4th day of the month)
• The next two fields are the year (e.g. 11 = 2011).
• The final code in the sequence is the Plant Code (T), in all cases.
Action required. Contact your OEM dealer to schedule the appropriate remedy action.
