MOUNTING THE NEW ELECTRONIC CONTROL

UNIT (ECU)

1. Mount the provided adapter bracket in the location where

the original ECU was mounted. The studs should be in

the forward location where the original harness entered

the ECU. Leave the attaching bolts loose. See Figure 7.

Figure 7 - Adapter Bracket

2. Mount the new ECU onto the studs of the bracket and

secure the ECU with the supplied washers and nuts.

Slide the bracket on the original plate to optimize the

ECU location. Ensure the ECU is not in contact with

any other components on the vehicle. Then, tighten the

bolts between the adapter plate and the original bracket.

See Figure 8.

RESTORING THE SMARTIRE

PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

BY BENDIX CVS CONFIGURATION

1. Connect to the Bendix

software.

2. Browse to the Axle Setup screen and configure the

number of axles and tires as per the vehicle configuration.

•

If it was possible to back up the previous TPMS

settings, start the same TPMS Backup and Restore

application, but this time, press the Load Settings

button and select the previously saved backup file.

•

If it was not possible to back up the previous TPMS

settings, then each tire ID will need to be learned.

Click on a Tire Icon in the ACom PRO diagnostic

software and press the Learn button. Navigate to

the tire to be learned and use the Bendix

Tool to activate the sensor. The sensor should be

learned into the ECU. Repeat these steps for all

other tire locations. The other parameters, such as

Cold Inflation Pressure (CIP) and warning levels,

will have to be modified to suit the application if the

default values provided are not appropriate.
