Banks Power Dodge Trucks: (Diesel ’98 - 02 5.9L Cummins ISB) Speed Control- Banks Exhaust Brake - Manual (Page 14)

50.
Start the engine and let
it idle. The brake valve will
close and can be verified
by the muffled sound of a
restricted exhaust pipe.
51. Slowly press the
accelerator pedal. The
green LED should turn off
almost immediately (very
little throttle movement)
and the solenoid valve
assembly should vent the
air from the brake actuator
and the brake valve
should open. Release the
accelerator pedal and the
green LED should again
light up. Repeat this cycle
a few times to verify CBC
function.
NOTE: The engine speed
(RPM) should not exceed
1200 rpm prior to brake
disengagement.
52.
Allow the vehicle to
reach normal operating
temperature. The brake
will remain active until
the vehicle reaches
approximately 125°F engine
coolant temperature. Once
the vehicle warms up, the
brake will turn off.
53. Re-install the lower
dash panel.
NOTE: Once the vehicle has
passed the initial functional
tests outlined in Steps
47-53 the vehicle can be
driven in order to complete
the required functional
testing.
54.
Obtain a vehicle speed
of approximately 40-45
mph in an area where
speeds of this nature are
safe and traffic is light.
Turn the Banks Brake
activation switch to the
“on” position. Release the
throttle. The brake should
activate and the vehicle
will begin to slow. Bring
the vehicle to a safe stop
(using the service brakes).
As the vehicle speed drops
below approximately 15
mph the brake should turn
off. Turn the Banks Brake
activation switch to the
“oFF” position.
NOTE: The vehicle must be
traveling above 30 mph for
the brake to activate. Once
activated, the brake will
remain on until the vehicle
slows to less than 15 mph
or the throttle is depressed.
NOTE: Once the vehicle has
passed the test outlined
in Step 54, the installation
of the Banks Brake system
is complete and ready for
years of reliable service.
Trouble Shooting
If the Banks Brake does
not pass the FunCtIonaL
tEstIng or ceases to
function, re-check all
connections per the
installation instructions.
Test for the following
voltages at the CBC
connector:
1st, test the following with
the engine cold and the
kEy on and EngInE oFF:
• BLUE wire 0.4 - 1.0V
• GRAY wire 4 - 5V
2nd, test the following with
the
kEy on and EngInE
runnIng:
• YELLOW wire 12V
If any of these voltages
are not present, trace
the corresponding wire
to the connections at
either ends and re-check
the connections. If all
voltages are present, repeat
FunCtIonaL tEstIng.
The green LED should be
lit, indicating the Brake
should now function as
described.
If green LED does not light
or compressor does not
run, call Banks Installation
Support for assistance.
