Service brakes, air:antilock
Problem: Vehicle description: school buses, medium duty trucks and tractors built with bendix air abs with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ecu), there have been reports of unwanted abs activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed abs wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.
Risk: This condition could cause the abs ecu to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the abs ecu.
Electrical system:wiring:front underhood
Problem: Vehicle description: medium duty trucks equipped with air brakes and anti-lock brake systems. Chaffing of the electric brake control harness can occur resulting in an electrical grounding condition. This will illuminate a warning light on the instrument panel and shut off the abs feature.
Risk: This condition can cause reduced braking capability of the front brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the harness for chaffing and proper routing and will repair if necessary.
