Lateral Alignment section to measure.
3 Retighten the four lateral position screws to hold the
desired alignment in place.
4. Recheck the lateral alignment as described above.
5. After the lateral alignment procedure is complete, use
the Bendix ACom Diagnostics service tool to reset the
alignment value.
6.11 RESET LATERAL ALIGNMENT VALUE
IN BENDIX
® ACOM ® DIAGNOSTICS
If a “radar alignment” diagnostic trouble code (DTC) was
logged, after repairs, the vehicle will need to be connected
to a PC with ACom Diagnostics software to reset the
“Alignment Value” to zero.
1. In ACom Diagnostics select Wingman Advanced on the
starter screen, and then select “Start with ECU.”
2. Select “Config” on the Wingman Advanced Status
window.
3. Select “Modify” on the Configuration Status window.
4. Select “Reset Alignment Value” in the Change
Configuration box.
5. Select "Write" button in the dialogue box.
6. Clear the Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™ system
trouble code using the procedure in Section
4.4: Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Also,
see Appendix D.
7. Close the ACom Diagnostics program and any open
windows.
8. Cycle the vehicle ignition.
6.12 REINSTALL THE PLASTIC COVER
With a slight force, push the cover onto the bracket so that
the plastic fasteners line up with the slots on the plastic
cover. Ensure the cover is secure over the radar sensor
assembly before driving the vehicle.
7.0 GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO
AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following
general precautions should be observed at all times.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brakes,
and always block the wheels. Always wear safety glasses.
2. Stop the engine and remove ignition key when working
under or around the vehicle. When working in the engine
compartment, the engine should be shut off and the ignition
key should be removed. Where circumstances require that
the engine be in operation, EXTREME CAUTION should be
used to prevent personal injury resulting from contact with
moving, rotating, leaking, heated or electrically charged
components.
3. Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble or assemble
a component until you have read and thoroughly understand
the recommended procedures. Use only the proper tools and
observe all precautions pertaining to use of those tools.
4. If the work is being performed on the vehicle’s air brake
system, or any auxiliary pressurized air systems, make certain
to drain the air pressure from all reservoirs before beginning
ANY work on the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a
Bendix
® AD-IS ® air dryer system or a dryer reservoir module,
be sure to drain the purge reservoir.
5. Following the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
procedures, deactivate the electrical system in a manner that
safely removes all electrical power from the vehicle.
6. Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended pressures.
7. Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing
pressure; it may whip. Never remove a component or plug
unless you are certain all system pressure has been depleted.
8. Use only genuine Bendix ® brand replacement parts,
components and kits. Replacement hardware, tubing, hose,
fittings, etc. must be of equivalent size, type and strength
as original equipment and be designed specifically for such
applications and systems.
9. Components with stripped threads or damaged parts should
be replaced rather than repaired. Do not attempt repairs
requiring machining or welding unless specifically stated and
approved by the vehicle and component manufacturer.
10. Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain all
components and systems are restored to their proper
operating condition.
11. For vehicles with Automatic Traction Control (ATC), the ATC
function must be disabled (ATC indicator lamp should be ON)
prior to performing any vehicle maintenance where one or more
wheels on a drive axle are lifted off the ground and moving.
