General Information
Before You Begin
The VORAD ® VS-400 system is comprised of a Forward Looking Radar (FLR) unit and Driver Interface Unit (DIU) that utilizes the vehicle’s
J1939 data link to communicate with each other, as well as the vehicle’s engine and/or chassis (cab) controller. It is recommended that the
servicing technician be properly trained and familiar with the vehicle’s electrical system, J1939 data link, and electronic components before
attempting any of the troubleshooting procedures in this manual .
For information on training opportunities, along with up to date service bulletins and product literature, contact your local Bendix account
manager or visit the Bendix website at www .bendix .com .
Additional Warnings
Some of the tests in this manual require the technician to use a test meter to measure the voltage and resistance of the vehicle’s electrical
circuits . If it becomes necessary to temporarily connect the test meter leads to wire harness terminals, it is recommended to use a test lead
adapter kit (see recommended tools for P/N J-43318) or equivalent.
• Never insert test lead probes, nails, or paper clips into the vehicle harness connector terminals, as this can distort or damage the
wire terminals .
• Never pierce wire insulation to test circuits, as this can result in damaged wires and wire corrosion.
• When making resistance checks on circuits, make sure the vehicle ignition is off to prevent damage to test equipment and vehicle
components .
