BENDIX ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM
Kenworth is offering Bendix Electronic Stability Program (ESP) as a pre-wire option on specific Bendix approved full truck
configurations. Work with your local Kenworth dealer to determine if ESP is approved for your application. The Kenworth
pre-wire option includes all the Bendix ESP system components installed and tested, but because Kenworth is the incom-
plete vehicle manufacturer the ESP system cannot receive final verification until the body is installed. ESP functionality will
be disabled when the vehicle leaves the Kenworth manufacturing facility. (The ESP system will be programmed with con-
figuration specific information provided to Kenworth on the sales order – this data includes the Body Type, Body Builder,
and Body Information.) To demonstrate that the ESP system has been tested and disabled, the ESP/ATC warning lamp
will illuminate solidly and remain on after the truck has been driven at speeds greater than 30 miles per hour. The Body
Builder / Final Stage Manufacturer is responsible for certifying that the Bendix ESP is functioning properly after the body is
installed.
Bendix will provide training and software that are required to enable the ESP pre-wire system. For the ESP system to
function properly, the body builder must install the body specified on the Kenworth Sales Order and not make any changes
to any of the main chassis components (wheelbase, front/rear axle, front/rear suspension, steering gear, front/rear brakes,
add/remove axle or lift axles, etc.). Please contact Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC if any questions exist.
After the ESP system has been enabled, the ESP warning labels must be applied to the chassis. The warning labels are
shipped loose with the chassis along with an installation drawing. Remove the label on the dash that says “Replace When
ESP is Enabled” and replace it with the ESP dash warning label. Apply the remaining warning labels in conjunction with
the warning label installation drawing.
Please notify Kenworth or Bendix if there are any changes to the body configurations that have been certified in the ESP
program. In order to approve configurations for ESP, a validation test at Bendix is required.
