(Bendix™ FLR-21™ Radar Sensors Only)
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is a failure of the FLR-21 radar sensor. Replace the FLR-21
radar sensor.
A
Prior to replacing the FLR-21 radar sensor, perform the following:
• Clear the Bendix® Wingman® Fusion™ system DTCs using the procedure in Section 2.6:
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
• If the error returns, replace the FLR-21 radar sensor.
This DTC is not a failure of the FLR-21 radar sensor. Do not replace the FLR-21 radar sensor.
Possible causes:
• These DTCs may arise from infrequent conditions that could occur normally.
B
Perform the following:
• Clear the Wingman Fusion system DTCs using the procedure in Section 2.6: Clearing
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If the error persists, continue to the next step.
• Check for proper installation of the FLR-21 radar sensor. This DTC is commonly caused by the
FLR-21 radar sensor being installed backwards.
• Check for FLR-21 radar sensor obstruction. Clean dirt – or packed snow or ice – from the FLR-21
radar sensor if present.
• If the error returns, call the Bendix Tech Team at 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725), option 2.
This DTC is not a failure of the FLR-21 radar sensor. Do not replace the FLR-21 radar sensor.
Possible causes:
• These DTCs result from incorrect ignition, battery supply voltage, or wiring harness issues as
measured at the FLR-21 radar sensor.
C
Review the following sections:
• 2.7: Ignition Voltage Too Low
• 2.7: Ignition Voltage Too High
• 2.7: Power Supply Tests
• 2.12: Troubleshooting Wiring Harnesses
Perform the following:
• Clear the Wingman Fusion system DTCs using the procedure in Section 2.6: Clearing
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If the error persists, continue to the next step.
• Verify the ignition supply voltage to the FLR-21 radar sensor is between 9 to 16 VDC.
• Visually check for damaged or corroded connectors.
• Visually check for damaged wiring.
• If the error returns, call the Bendix Tech Team at 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725), option 2.
Note: The system will not report newly active J1939 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) until the engine has

(Bendix
™ FLR-21™ Radar Sensors Only)
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is not a failure of the FLR-21 radar sensor. Do not replace
the FLR-21 radar sensor.
Possible causes:
• The Bendix® Wingman® Fusion™ system is indicating a J1939 communication error.
• The FLR-21 radar sensor is not receiving/missing messages from the other system components.
• There is aftermarket component interference.
• This DTC could be accompanied by other active DTCs.
D
Review the following sections:
• K1.15: FLR-21 Radar Sensor Interchangeability
• 2.10: J1939 Engine Communications Test Procedure
Perform the following:
• Clear the Wingman Fusion system DTCs using the procedure in Section 2.6: Clearing
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If the error persists, continue to the next step.
• Remove all aftermarket components from the J1939 CAN line and retest vehicle communications.
• Check the source of the J1939 message to identify why the signal has invalid data in the J1939
message.
• Check the engine, engine retarder, and Antilock Braking System (ABS) for DTCs using the
manufacturer’s diagnostic procedures. Either the engine, engine retarder, or the ABS are the
source of the J1939 message. The component that broadcasts the signal must be investigated
first. Some examples are gross vehicle weight and various engine torque signals.
• If the error returns, call the Bendix Tech Team at 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725), option 2.
This DTC is not a failure of the FLR-21 radar sensor. Do not replace the FLR-21 radar sensor.
Possible cause:
• The FLR-21 radar sensor is out of alignment.
G
Perform the following:
• Clear the Wingman Fusion system DTCs using the procedure in Section 2.6: Clearing
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If the error persists, continue to the next step.
• Physically check that the FLR-21 radar sensor is securely mounted in its original mounting location
with OE-specified hardware.
• Refer to Appendix B1 and use the flowchart to find out the procedure needed. Follow the actions
directed in the procedure and align the FLR-21 radar sensor.
• Use Bendix
® ACom® Diagnostic Software to reset the alignment value.
• If the error returns, call the Bendix Tech Team at 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725), option 2.
Note: The system will not report newly active J1939 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) until the engine has
been running for 15 seconds. Do not attempt to diagnose J1939 DTCs without the engine running.

(Bendix™ FLR-21™ Radar Sensors Only)
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is not a failure of the FLR-21 radar sensor. Do not replace
the FLR-21 radar sensor.
Possible causes:
• The Bendix
® Wingman® Fusion™ system is indicating a required J1939 message from the Antilock
Braking System (ABS) controller is missing or the ABS controller is sending a message indicating an
ABS fault.
• This DTC could be accompanied by other active DTCs.
H
Review the following sections:
• K1.15: FLR-21 Radar Sensor Interchangeability
Perform the following:
• Clear the Wingman Fusion system DTCs using the procedure in Section 2.6: Clearing
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If the error persists, continue to the next step.
• If there are no DTCs present in the ABS controller, clear all faults.
• If the DTC returns after driving the vehicle, check the ABS controller's DTC events to see if an
intermittent fault is occurring.
• Check the ABS controller for DTCs using the Bendix’s diagnostic procedures. Some examples are
incorrect ABS ECU software version, incorrect parameter settings, or failure of a component in the
ABS or ESP systems.
• If the error returns, call the Bendix
Tech Team at 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725), option 2.
This DTC is not a failure of the FLR-21 radar sensor. Do not replace the FLR-21 radar sensor.
J
Possible causes:
• The system was used improperly (i.e. using the system on downhill grades).
Perform the following:
• Clear the Wingman Fusion system DTCs using the procedure in Section 2.6: Clearing
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If the error persists, continue to the next step.
• Check any engine or engine retarder DTCs.
This DTC is not a failure of the FLR-21 radar sensor. Do not replace the FLR-21 radar sensor.
K
Possible causes:
• The engine has a configuration setting enabling it to perform the torque and retarder control for the
Bendix® Wingman® Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
• The FLR-21 radar sensor is not compatible with the current configuration of the engine.
Perform the following:
• Clear the Wingman Fusion system DTCs using the procedure in Section 2.6: Clearing
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If the error persists, continue to the next step.
• Contact the engine manufacturer for proper engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) configuration
settings.
• If the error returns, contact the engine manufacturer for assistance.
Note: The system will not report newly active J1939 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) until the engine has
been running for 15 seconds. Do not attempt to diagnose J1939 DTCs without the engine running.
