Bendix™ FLC-25™ Camera
1.0 DESCRIPTION

Camera Bracket

The Bendix camera
bracket is attached to
the windshield, and the
camera snaps into it.

The Bendix™ FLC-25™ camera is a component used in
Bendix safety systems, including the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) System by Bendix CVS and the Bendix®
Fusion™ Active Safety System. This document covers
installation, troubleshooting, and replacement for this
camera.

systems, visit B2Bendix.com.

Bendix safety technologies complement safe driving
practices. No commercial vehicle safety technology
replaces a skilled, alert driver exercising safe driving
techniques and proactive, comprehensive driver
training. Responsibility for the safe operation of the
vehicle remains with the driver at all times.

The DARK GRAY area approximates the
zone where the Fusion system is ready to
alert – and intervene with the vehicle's brakes
– as long as the vehicle is traveling above
10 mph (16 kph).

The STRIPED area approximates the zone
where the Active Cruise with Braking (ACB)
feature is ready to alert – and intervene
with the vehicle's brakes – when the cruise
control is set.

▲ Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended
pressures.
▲ You should consult the vehicle manufacturer's operating and service manuals, and any related literature,
in conjunction with the Guidelines above.

Improper use and/or maintenance of the Bendix® Fusion™ Active Safety 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 applicable Fusion Operator’s Manual on B2Bendix.com.

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.

IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the driver to remain vigilant and change driving practices depending on traffic and
road conditions.

How to identify your FLC-25
Camera part number:
Look for the Bendix®
brand logo on the
camera label. Refer to
Section 3.0 for how to
remove the camera from
the bracket to view
the label.

IMPORTANT
For some Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the vehicle is
stored in the FLC-25’s internal memory, and is cross-checked by the FLC-25 using information obtained from
other vehicle controller(s). If the VIN stored in the FLC-25 does not match the VIN obtained from the other vehicle
controller(s), the FLC-25 will generate a VIN Mismatch DTC.

2.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
Read and follow the General Safety Guidelines shown in
this document.

IMPORTANT
All vehicle DTCs related to the engine, transmission,
instrument cluster, engine cruise control, and Bendix®
Antilock Braking System (ABS), Automatic Traction
Control (ATC), or Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)
systems must first be resolved, with no DTCs present
during the vehicle operation while in cruise control,
before trying to resolve camera DTCs.

If a problem with the FLC-25 camera is detected,
reduced performance may occur, up to and including
loss of Automated Emergency Braking (AEB). The
vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible to
restore full functionality.

2.1 TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE LANE
DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
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 Fusion
Active Safety System has an enable/disable switch. The
Bendix switch design or a similar Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) switch may be used. See Figure 3.
For vehicles that have the LDW switch hard-wired to the
SafetyDirect® by Rand McNally® Web Portal Processor,
and a functioning On Board Computer (OBC)/Telematics
system: The enable/disable switch used by the 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.

2.2 SETTING DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
If, during operation, the Fusion system detects a problem
with the FLC-25 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.
For example, 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.

2.3 BENDIX® ACOM® DIAGNOSTIC
SOFTWARE
Bendix ACom Diagnostic Software is a PC-based
software program available to purchase online at
B2Bendix.com. This software provides the technician with
access to all the available ECU diagnostic information and
configuration capability. For Fusion system diagnostics, use
the current version of Bendix ACom Diagnostic Software.

IMPORTANT
Bendix®-brand Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are
not designed to store data for purposes of accident
reconstruction and Bendix® ACom® Diagnostic Software
is not intended to retrieve data for purposes of accident
reconstruction. Bendix makes no representations as to
the accuracy of data or video retrieved and interpreted
from ECUs for purposes of accident reconstruction.
Bendix does not offer accident reconstruction services
or interpretation of stored data. Bendix ECUs are not
protected from fire, loss of power, impact damage,
or other conditions that may be sustained in a crash
situation and may cause data to be unavailable or
irretrievable.

2.4 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
Use a J1939 detection software to find the DTC(s) and use Table 1 to find the service action code to use. The service
actions to take may then be found in Table 1.
