oPERATIoN/DRIVING
Now that you are familiar with the
features that are available with Banks
Brake, it is recommended that you
experiment with the various settings
prior to using the braking features in
a towing or extreme driving situation.
Under light load conditions on local
streets, the MED (medium) setting is an
appropriate starting point to provide a
reasonable demonstration that the brake
is functioning.
Note: Whenever the brake is active and
the footbrake is applied, the vehicle will
not upshift until the throttle is pressed.
this is also true even if cruise control is
resumed.
For some model vehicles, whenever the
brake is active the vehicles tow-haul
mode will activate. the tow-haul mode
will deactivate when the Banks Brake is
deactivated.
WHEEL SLIP DETECTIoN
The Banks Speedbrake continuously
monitors wheel speeds to detect
possible slippage caused by braking.
If this occurs, the brake will shut off
until traction is regained and then
remain off for 30 seconds. This will be
communicated as a fault via the Banks
iQ Status Indicator.
-END, SECTION 3-
If you feel that your Banks Brake is not
functioning properly, some diagnostics
can be performed. Your Banks Brake
module is equipped with diagnostic
features that will detect and display
certain errors.
Remove the Banks Brake Module
from its mounting location while
keeping all connectors plugged in,
and position it in such a way that you
can view the end of the Banks Brake
housing that contains the LEDs from
the driver’s seat. Turn the vehicle key
to the ON position. Observe the two
LEDs mounted on the end of the Banks
Brake Module:
• A steady GREEN LED will illuminate
if all wire connections are correct,
the engine is running, and the engine
coolant temperature is within its
normal operating range.
• The GREEN LED will flash if all wire
connections are correct, the engine
is running, but the engine coolant
temperature is not within its normal
operating range. The GREEN LED will
stop flashing once the engine coolant
temperature is within its normal
operating range (not to be confused
with Speed-Loader flash on power-up).
• No LEDs will illuminate if the fuse
on the Banks Brake wiring harness
is blown or the wiring harness is not
properly connected. If the fuse and all
connections are okay, contact Banks
Technical Service.
• The RED LED will flash in a certain
sequence if a connection is incorrect
of if there is a problem with the
system – this sequence will identify
one or more diagnostic codes. A Banks
Brake diagnostic code is comprised of
2 digits. Each code is expressed in a
sequence of 2 sets of the flashing red
LED separated by a brief flashing of the
green LED in between. Each set of a
number of red LED flashes represents
a digit. A longer flashing of the green
