Group 59 Anti-Lock Brake System (Bendix) Design and Function

Wheel Spin Indicating Light

A yellow TCS warning light is provided on the instrument

cluster (right section). This light is associated with both

TCS and ABS. The light has several functions. If the

TCS switch is in the OFF (up) position, the TCS light will

come on to remind the driver that the TCS is selected to

OFF. If TCS is not installed, the light will blink once per

second anytime drive wheel spin is detected. If TCS is

installed, the light will come on while the TCS system is

controlling wheel spin. The TCS lamp will also come on

and stay on if a fault is detected in the TCS circuits.

Data Link Diagnostic Display

The integrated multi-function display of the Dixson Data-

Link is on the left side of the instrument cluster. It can be

used to display diagnostic messages from the ABS. The

system uses the SAE J1708/1587 data link and is in-

stalled in vehicles with electronically controlled engines.

Refer to “Troubleshooting” page 25 for information on

how to use the Data Link diagnostics to troubleshoot

ABS problems.
