DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
(DTC) SELF-CLEARING
Many of the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) will
automatically clear when the cause of the problem is
corrected. When the technician troubleshoots a diagnostic
trouble code, it is recommended that a current version of
the Bendix
®
ACom
®
Diagnostics software be used to clear
the diagnostic trouble codes as directed by the repair
procedure.
Some codes will clear immediately and the functionality
will resume. Some codes will clear after powering off the
ignition for about 1 minute and then turning it back on.
Other codes will clear after the engine runs for about 15
seconds.
If the vehicle’s cruise control can be engaged, that indicates
all WingmanAdvanced trouble codes have been cleared.
5.3 FOLLOWING DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
SWITCH (OPTIONAL)
If the vehicle is equipped with the following distance
adjustment switch and the following distance does not
change after an adjustment is made, the switch, wiring,
or a controller on the vehicle should be checked using
the diagnostic procedures described by the vehicle
manufacturer. The radar sensor receives the driver’s
desired following distance on the J1939 data communication
link from a controller on the vehicle. No diagnostic trouble
code will be set if the vehicle is not equipped with a following
distance adjustment switch.
