1.1 GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GeneralINJURY
Safety Guidelines
TO AVOID 1.1
PERSONAL
OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following guidelines should be observed AT ALL TIMES:
▲ Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brakes and always block the wheels.
Always wear personal protection equipment.
▲ Stop the engine and remove the ignition key
when working under or around the vehicle.
When working in the engine compartment,
the engine should be shut off and the ignition
key should be removed. Where circumstances
require that the engine be in operation, EXTREME
CAUTION should be used to prevent personal
injury resulting from contact with moving,
rotating, leaking, heated or electrically-charged
components.
▲ Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble
or assemble a component until you have read,
and thoroughly understand, the recommended
procedures. Use only the proper tools and
observe all precautions pertaining to use of those
tools.
▲ If the work is being performed on the vehicle’s
air brake system, or any auxiliary pressurized air
systems, make certain to drain the air pressure
from all reservoirs before beginning ANY work
on the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a
Bendix® AD-IS® air dryer system, a Bendix® DRM™
dryer reservoir module, or a Bendix® AD-9si® air
dryer, be sure to drain the purge reservoir.
▲ F o l l o w i n g t h e v e h i c l e m a n u f a c t u r e r ’s
recommended procedures, deactivate the
electrical system in a manner that safely removes
all electrical power from the vehicle.
▲ Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended
pressures.

▲ Never connect or disconnect a hose or line
containing pressure; it may whip and/or cause
hazardous airborne dust and dirt particles. Wear
eye protection. Slowly open connections with
care, and verify that no pressure is present. Never
remove a component or plug unless you are
certain all system pressure has been depleted.
▲ Use only genuine Bendix ® brand replacement
parts, components and kits. Replacement
hardware, tubing, hose, fittings, wiring, etc. must
be of equivalent size, type and strength as original
equipment and be designed specifically for such
applications and systems.
▲ Components with stripped threads or damaged
parts should be replaced rather than repaired.
Do not attempt repairs requiring machining or
welding unless specifically stated and approved
by the vehicle and component manufacturer.
▲ Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make
certain all components and systems are restored
to their proper operating condition.
▲ For vehicles with Automatic Traction Control
(ATC), the ATC function must be disabled (ATC
indicator lamp should be ON) prior to performing
any vehicle maintenance where one or more
wheels on a drive axle are lifted off the ground
and moving.
▲ The power MUST be temporarily disconnected
from the radar sensor whenever any tests USING
A DYNAMOMETER are conducted on a vehicle
equipped with a Bendix® Wingman® system.

▲ You should consult the vehicle manufacturer's operating and service manuals, and any related literature,
in conjunction with the Guidelines above.

Improper use of the Bendix® Wingman® Fusion™ Driver
Assistance System can result in a collision causing
property damage, serious injuries, or death. Be sure to
read, understand, and carefully follow the instructions
in the Operator’s Manual, BW2681.

Due to the inherent limitations of image recognition
technology, camera-based safety technology — on
rare occasions — may not be able to detect or may
misinterpret lane markings. At these times, alerts
may not occur, or erroneous alerts may occur.

2.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

During Start-Up – System Busy

2.1 SAFETY GUIDELINES
Read and follow the General Safety Guidelines shown
on page two of this document.

IMPORTANT
All vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
related to the engine, transmission, instrument
cluster, engine cruise control and Bendix® ABS,
ATC or ESP® systems must first be resolved, with
no DTCs present during the vehicle operation
while in cruise control, before trying to resolve
camera DTCs.

IMPORTANT
System Problems. If a problem with the Bendix™
AutoVue® FLC20™ camera is detected, it should be
serviced as soon as possible to restore full functionality.

2.2 BENDIX® DRIVER INTERFACE
UNIT (DIU™) LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING SYSTEM ICONS
See Figure 3. In the case of vehicles that use a Bendix®
Driver Interface Unit (DIU™), the top right corner of the
display is used to show an icon. For other OEM displays,
see the vehicle manual to find the method used to show
the system status.

The first symbol shows when the LDW
system is initializing.
Camera Impaired
If the system experiences
problems detecting objects (for
example, due to sun-glare, a
dirty windshield, obstructions,
etc.), a full DIU screen message
will briefly be displayed.
The screen will revert to displaying
the icon shown, until the problem is
resolved.
Normal Operation
The LDW system is actively seeking
lane-markings.

The LDW system is actively tracking
lane-markings on both sides of the
current lane.

The system is actively tracking only
lane-markings on the left.

The system is actively tracking only
lane-markings on the right.
FIGURE 3 - NORMAL BENDIX DIU SCREENS SHOWING LDW
SYSTEM STATUS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Set
If no LDW status symbol is shown
– and the driver has not applied the
LDW disable switch – if there is no icon
present, this indicates that the system
has detected a DTC.
FIGURE 4 - BENDIX DIU SCREEN SHOWING
LDW SYSTEM STATUS

In these cases, the OE vehicle dash display will also alert
the operator that there is a DTC present.

2.3 CAMERA TEST IMAGE
Take a Test Image using Bendix® ACom® Diagnostic Software
Troubleshooting a camera may be assisted by viewing a test image from the camera to ensure it is not blocked, or
has another problem.
•

Open Bendix® ACom® Diagnostic Software and select “FLC20” from the opening page list, and the “Start with
ECU” button.

•

Select “Snapshot” from the choices.

1. Click “Read”. A camera snapshot is
taken. (5 minutes approximately.)

2. Inspect the image.

3. Save, if needed, using “Export”.

2.4 TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)

2.5 SETTING DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES

To avoid erroneous LDW warnings in areas such as
construction zones – where the non-standard or overlapping
road markings present might cause false alerts – the
Bendix® Wingman® Fusion™ Driver Assistance System
(Fusion) has an enable/disable switch. The Bendix switch
design shown in Figure 5 – or a similar OEM switch – may
be used.

If, during operation, the Bendix Wingman Fusion system
detects a problem with the Bendix™ AutoVue® FLC20™
camera, a DTC will be set and – depending on the OEM –
the driver will be alerted on the dash display with an icon
or similar method. In these cases, some features of the
Fusion system will not be available.

FIGURE 5 - EXAMPLE OF AN LDW
ENABLE/DISABLE SWITCH.

If, for an extended period of time, the system detects that
the camera is blocked by dirt, snow, ice, etc., a DTC will
typically be set.

2.6 BENDIX® ACOM®
DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE

For vehicles that have the LDW switch hard-wired to the
SafetyDirect® by Bendix CVS Web Portal Processor, and a
functioning On Board Computer (OBC)/Telematics system:
The enable/disable switch used by the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) system also functions – when depressed
for six (6) seconds – to activate a manual request to
transmit the last five seconds and next five seconds of
buffered video data.

Bendix® ACom® Diagnostic Software is a PC-based software
program available as a free download from the Bendix web
site (www.bendix.com) or on a CD from the online Bendix
Literature Center (order BW2329). This software provides
the technician with access to all the available Electronic
Control Unit (ECU) diagnostic information and configuration
capability. For Fusion system diagnostics, use the current
version of Bendix ACom Diagnostic Software.

2.8 READING DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

The Bendix® ACom® Diagnostic Software can be started
from the desktop shortcut, or from the main Windows®
screen with “Start...Programs...Bendix...ACom Diagnostic
Software.” See Figure 7. To begin, the technician selects
“FLC20” from the Starter screen, then “Start with ECU” from
the Diagnostic Control panel.

If the system generates a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC),
where a lamp or icon is illuminated on the instrument
cluster, use a current version of ACom Diagnostic Software
to troubleshoot. Select “FLC20” from the starter screen,
then “Start with ECU”. Click “DTC” to show the DTCs.
See Section 2.9 for a complete table showing DTCs and
troubleshooting information.

2.9 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
Use a J1939 detection software to find the DTC code(s)
and use the Table in Section 2.10 to find the service action
code to use. The service actions to take may then be found
in the Table shown in Section 2.11.
If the troubleshooting devices available to the technician
provide SPN (Suspect Parameter Number) and FMI (Failure
Mode Identifier) code combinations, refer to Appendix A.

FIGURE 7 - STARTING BENDIX® ACOM® DIAGNOSTIC
SOFTWARE

NOTE: When using ACom Diagnostic Software for the
first time, the service technician will be asked to select
the communication adapter for both the Bendix® AutoVue®
FLC20™ camera and Bendix® ABS and Stability Controllers.
While both controllers will use the same physical adapter,
the technician will need to indicate which communication
protocol to use for each. Once a successful connection
has been made, these steps will no longer be necessary.
The Bendix ACom Diagnostic Software for ABS User
Guide is available for download at www.bendix.com
and should be used as a reference to all functions of
the ACom service tool.
