2. If the vehicle is to be confi gured with traction control, it
must have a traction control dash lamp and a traction
control enable/disable switch. Both the lamp and switch
must be functional.
3. Turn the ignition ON, toggle the traction control enable/
disable switch back and forth then hold a magnet
on the RESET position of the EC-17
™
controller
diagnostic display until the LEDs begin to fl ash then
remove the magnet. If the magnet is not removed
during the LED fl ashing a second self confi guration
may be initiated. The magnet may have to be held on
the RESET for as long as 20 seconds. When the self
confi guration process is complete the EC-17
™
controller
will automatically go through a self test. During the
self test the diagnostic display will indicate the new
confi guration as described under the section entitled
EC-17
™
Controller Confi guration Display. Note: If the
EC-17
™
controller is being confi gured with traction
control (either torque limiting, differential braking or
both), the traction control condition dash lamp, will
be illuminated as well as the appropriate LEDs on the
EC-17
™
controller diagnostic display. The traction
control dash lamp will be illuminated until the traction
control enable/disable switch is placed in the traction
control enabled position (traction control operative).
4. Place the traction control enable/disable switch in
the traction control enabled position (traction control
operative), the traction control dash lamp should be off.
5. Before placing the vehicle in service, verify the
configuration and the system condition by turning
the ignition OFF then ON while observing the EC-
17
™
controller diagnostic display. The diagnostic
display should indicate the desired confi guration as
described under the section entitled EC-17
™
Controller
Confi guration Display and no red LEDs should be
illuminated at the end of the self test.
6. If the confi guration appears correct but the diagnostic
LEDs indicate a failure somewhere in the system, refer
to the General Confi guration Information section and
use the Troubleshooting section of this manual to locate
and repair the diagnostic trouble code.
7. If the confi guration is incorrect, the process can be
repeated as required. One common error is performing
the self confi guration without toggling the traction
control enable/disable switch. This will prevent any
traction features from being activated. Note: The
traction switch must be toggled to confi gure traction,
but must be placed in the enable position to allow the
traction lamp to fl ash.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. Determine if the vehicle is equipped with traction
control. The presence of a traction condition lamp on
the dash can be used.
2. Some vehicles are equipped with a traction control
“disabling switch.” If so equipped, ENABLE THE
TRACTION SYSTEM BEFORE BEGINNING THE
TROUBLESHOOTING. THE TRACTION CONTROL
MUST BE DISABLED FOR DYNAMIC TESTING.
3. If the vehicle is equipped with traction control and is a
tandem axle unit, note the number of drive axles. The
“MID” diagnostic LED is used only on 6x4 vehicles.
GENERAL
While the EC-17
™
controller diagnostic display locates a
specifi c diagnostic trouble code area, it is still necessary to
confi rm whether the problem may reside in the component
itself or the wiring. The following troubleshooting procedure
is devoted to narrowing the diagnostic trouble code to either
the wiring or a specifi c antilock or traction component. It
should be noted that ALL TROUBLESHOOTING BEGINS
BY OBSERVING THE ANTILOCK AND TRACTION
CONDITION LAMPS ON THE DASH. All troubleshooting
should begin by first performing the “Initial Start up
Procedure” and following the directions contained in it.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
1. Begin by observing the dash condition lamp(s) and
performing the “Initial Start Up Procedure.”
2. The troubleshooting technician should record all fi ndings
and the action taken during the troubleshooting process.
3. No voltage or resistance tests are performed into the
EC-17
™
controller. All voltage and resistance tests
are performed by beginning at the wire harness half
of the connector and moving AWAY from the EC-17
™
controller toward an antilock traction system component
(modulator, wheel speed sensor, etc.)
