Safety Information
Provisions for a safe work environment
Only trained and qualified automotive technicians and auto mechanics may carry out work on the
vehicle.
Read this publication carefully.
Follow all warnings, notices and instructions to avoid personal injury and property damage.
Always abide by the vehicle manufacturer's specifications and instructions.
Observe all accident regulations of the respective company as well as regional and national regulations.
The workplace should be dry, sufficiently lit and ventilated.
Use personal protective equipment if required (safety shoes, protective goggles, respiratory protection
and ear protectors).
Read and observe all Danger, Warning and Caution hazard alert messages in this publication. They provide
information that can help prevent serious personal injury, damage to components, or both.
WARNING
To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection when you perform vehicle maintenance or
service.
WARNING
Park the vehicle on a level surface. Block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Support the
vehicle with safety stands. Do not work under a vehicle supported only by jacks. Jacks can slip or fall
over. Serious personal injury and damage to components can result.
WARNING
OnGuard® is designed to create high vehicle deceleration (without driver intervention) in certain
situations. To reduce the risk of injuries caused during OnGuard®-activated vehicle deceleration, all
vehicle occupants should be correctly seated and properly belted or restrained during vehicle operation.
All loose items should be secured so that they will not fl y forward and cause injury during a deceleration
event. The use of OnGuard® in vehicles not equipped with seat belts may expose non-belted passengers
to injuries due to system initiated sudden vehicle deceleration, despite vehicle compliance with
applicable safety standards.

Software and Parameter Updates

Description and Function
EN
OnGuardACTIVE™ is a radar-based Collision Mitigation System (CMS) that offers Forward Collision
Warning (FCW), Active Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC). OnGuardACTIVE™ detects objects
ahead and assists the driver in recognizing and responding to potentially dangerous driving scenarios that
could lead to a rear-end collision. OnGuardACTIVE™ is always monitoring the road and provides warnings
and active braking when deemed necessary, even when cruise control is not set. When an impending
collision is detected, OnGuardACTIVE™ has the ability to provide audible, visual and haptic warnings,
automatically reduces engine torque and applies the foundation brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

Software and Parameter Updates
4.1
Radar
The OnGuardACTIVE™ ECR2.3 software and parameter enhancement for vehicles built with or updated to
OnGuardACTIVE™ will provide:
Improved stationary object filtering
Reduced unintended braking events
Internal software enhancements
May reduce the incidences or occurrences of these DTC’s:
•
SPN 527 - FMI 09
•
SPN 516096 - FMI 09
•
SPN 516097 - FMI 09
•
SPN 516998 - FMI 12
•
SPN 517653 - FMI 07
•
SPN 517657 - FMI 07
•
SPN 517659 - FMI 07
Running the OnGuardACTIVE™ ECR2.3 update on a vehicle with OnGuard™ will provide:
Stationary Object Braking (OnGuardACTIVE™)
Internal software enhancements
Check the tables at the end of this publication to verify that your part number is eligible for the update.
Completing this process will modify the radar and will no longer allow it to communicate with
older versions of TOOLBOX™ Software. TOOLBOX™ Software 12.5 or higher will now be
needed to communicate with the radar. To obtain TOOLBOX™ Software 12.5, please go to our
website: www.wabco-na.com.
4.2
Display
Not all vehicles use the WABCO OnGuard™ in-cab display. For many vehicles, the OnGuard™ system is
integrated directly into the vehicle instrument cluster. If the vehicle uses the OEM integrated instrument
cluster for the OnGuard™ display, no display update is needed; proceed directly to the radar update
in Section 5.
7
Software and Parameter Updates
If the vehicle receiving the ECR2.3 update uses the WABCO OnGuard™ in-cab display, the display must
have the latest software. The display may have already have the latest software. Refer to the following
steps to determine if the display needs the latest software or if it has already been updated. Figure 1.
EN

In-Cab Display
4.2.1
How to Determine if the Display Update is Required
1. Verify the ignition is "OFF".
2. Press and hold the right DOWN-ARROW button on the display and turn the ignition “ON”. The display
should now be in bootloader mode and the button may be released*.
On some older vehicles the display screen may be dark and remain dark when in this state;
proceed with the display update.
3. If the screen shows either of the “V 1.05" messages below, for only 10 seconds, NO display update is
needed.
“BOOTLOADER 250K V1.05”
“BOOTLOADER 500K V1.05”
4. If the above messages do not appear, the display update is needed, proceed with the display update.
If the Display Update is Not Needed:
Proceed directly to the OnGuardACTIVE™ ECR2.3 Update in Section 5.
If the Display Update is Required:
Refer to TP1767. The Display Update tool and TP1767 can be obtained from our website:
www.wabco-na.com. Once the display update has been completed, continue with the Radar Update in
Section 5 of this publication.
