Note: On some occasions, the status bar window may appear blank.
Although it appears that no action is occurring, the process is
proceeding. In this case, allow the process to continue. The ABS ECU will
be restarted and the con guration window will disappear when its task is
complete and the process will continue in the main operation window.

Figure 6
After the con guration is complete, the con guration window will
be closed and another connection to Central Systems will be made
in order to send a con rmation that the con guration has
been completed successfully.
Once the con guration has been completed verify that the sysyem air is
fully charged. Apply ignition power and wait 30 seconds. Perform a full
application of service brake and hold for 5 seconds. Release the service
brake. Check for fault codes with ACOM.
