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:

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.
Safety
CAuTION: Your Banks Brake is
NOT a substitute for the hydraulic
brakes on your truck. The device
will not correct or compensate for
improperly maintained hydraulic
brakes. Also please be aware
that your Banks Brake is not
designed to be used as a parking
brake or to bring your vehicle to a
complete stop. Your Banks Brake
is a supplementary braking system
designed to help you slow down or
to assist you in maintaining a more
constant speed when descending a
grade. Remember that this exhaust
brake is first and foremost a safety
device and it is most efficient
when used to prevent, rather
than correct a runaway vehicle
condition.
The use of a Banks Brake does not
increase the load capacity of your
vehicle. Gross Combined Weight
Rating specifications should always
be adhered to. The Banks Brake
will allow you to slow your vehicle
more effectively within your
vehicle’s weight specifications.
