When you are informed that your parts are available we encourage you to follow-through and get the new parts installed. Bendix has discovered that if wheel speed sensor cables are not properly routed and secured, the cable could rub on rotating components, causing damage which, in rare circumstances, could result in a temporary exhaust of brakes for a few seconds at low speeds. Although this issue has only been reported on a small number of straight trucks and buses, Bendix recommends that when servicing ABS, you ensure proper routing and securing of wheel speed sensor cables. Wheel speed sensor cables Wheel speed sensor cables coming directly out of the wheel ends should be routed at least 1.5 inches away from moving components at all points and be properly secured to air lines and the axle to prevent excess cable slack and potential chafing damage. Wire Harness Ensure all wiring routed along the frame rails is secured to frame members wherever possible.
Route wires away from sharp corners, heat sources, and moving or rotating components.
If a harness is installed through a frame member, grommets must be installed to prevent wire chafing. Be sure all connector seals are fully engaged in the mating connector and secondary locks are snapped securely.
