Testing the Connections
If you need to temporarily connect test meter leads to wire
harness terminals, be sure to:
• Never insert anything, including test lead probes, into
the vehicle harness connector terminals, damage to
the terminals may result;
• Never pierce the wire insulation to test circuits, it can
result in wire corrosion and damaged wires; or
• When making resistance checks on circuits, make
sure the vehicle ignition is off to prevent damage to
test equipment and components.
Consult the vehicle operator’s manual for any applicable
details regarding the use and operation of this system.
System Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The Bendix
™
BlindSpotter
®
system monitors itself. If any
malfunction is detected, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
is set and the red and yellow LEDs are illuminated on the
Operator Display Unit.
POWER-UP SYSTEM TEST
The ODU indicators display system status at power-up.
Refer to the Bendix BlindSpotter Side Object Detection
System Service Data Sheet SD-61-4933 for system
indicators and alert notices during vehicle use.
Typical System Indication/Alerts
The following indicators provide system status at
vehicle power-up with no metal object within the sensor
detection zone.
• Both the red and yellow LEDs illuminate for a half-
second during a system self-test followed by;
• The red LED remains on for another 5 seconds
during the sensor self-test followed by;
The yellow LED illuminates and stays ON.
NOTES:
• If a metal object is within the sensor detection zone,
the yellow LED is off, and the red LED is on.
• If the red and yellow LEDs are on constantly, a
Sensor Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is issued.
The driver is always responsible for the control
and safe operation of the vehicle at all times. The
Bendix
™
BlindSpotter
®
system does not replace the
need for a skilled, alert professional driver, reacting
appropriately and in a timely manner, and using safe
driving practices.
