So, they under brake, resulting in greater than optimal stopping distances.Ĭase 2, driver over-brakes, locks wheels, and enters that skid.Ĭase 2 w/ABS, ABS prevents wheel lock (by un-applying the brakes) for short periods of time. What happens in reality, though, is one of two things.Ĭase 1, driver is afraid of over-braking, locking wheels, and then entering a skid, where steering is greatly diminished to impossible, and braking force is greatly reduced. If the driver is "perfect" then ABS has no effect on stopping distance. Garage at 9 ask for John or email me at Ī. If I can help call me at the Tulsa Fire Dept. If your dealership will call ED with International Service he can fax a drawing of the proper wiring. The Bendix system does not reset itself and the light will stay on until it is cleared by a technician with a scan tool. The ABS system goes in to inactive mode and turns the ABS light on. When the pump is in gear the wheels are not turning. When it starts checking wheel speeds it checks the left front wheel sensor first. When you put your pump in gear your ABS computer detects vehicle speed via your speedometer.

The problem is the system is not wired correctly for a midship fire pump type vehicle. The ABS system on your International is made by Bendix. When the ABS light is on the antilock brake system becomes inactive so making the proper repair is very important to preserve the safety of your firefighters.

The abs light comes on when there is a fault seen by the ABS computer. I took 8 new trucks back and forth to the dealership numerous times for the same problem. I have been through the same scenerio that you are going through.
