WABCO ABS D Blinkcode via Warning Lamp respectively ASR-L
PF3 Ruhnau Page 1 of 5 WL_ASR4E.DOC Version 2
For blinkcode activation warning lamp respectively the ASR-L
has to be grounded for a given time by a push button switch.
Which signal lamp has to be used depends on ECU type 15
respectively its parametersetting. The duration defines the
mode. After release of the switch the signal light will be on for
further 0.5 sec. to confirm that the grounding was detected and
accepted by the Electronic Control Unit, ECU. WL or ASR-L
If a fault occurs or signal lamp is grounded for longer than 6.3
sec. blinkcode will be terminated. If grounding is detected for
more than 15 sec., fault detection of warning lamp open circuit
can be detected and stored in ECU EEPROM (non-volatile ECU
memory). Blinkcode activation on ASR-lamp do not cause fault
memorizing because open circuit is not detected.
Dashboard signal lamp check devices which grounds the lamp in the described
way activates the related mode.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE:
For diagnostic mode activation signal lamp has to be grounded for 0.5 sec. to 3.0

If one fault was detected during current „IGNITION ON“ (actual fault) the ECU blinks
out that fault. If more faults were detected during that period blinkcode shows just
the latest detected fault. For termination ignition must be switched off / on or vehicle
has to move (measured speed of more than one axle).
If there is no actual fault, the last fault will be blinked out first. Further fault numbers
may not represent the sequence of occurrence. The stored fault blink mode is self
terminating.

SYSTEM MODE, CLEAR ALL MEMORIZED FAULTS:
System mode is activated if the signal lamp is grounded for a time of 3 to 6.3 sec.
All stored faults are erased, if no fault is actual.
For termination ignition has to be switched off / on or vehicle has to move (measured
speed of more than one axle).
System code (one number) represents the expected system and should be used to
check correct ECU Type.
After activating system mode ASR (ATC) is disabled for dyno tests. With WL
blinkode ECU’s ASR (ATC) lamp is permanently on indicating ASR(ATC) disabling.
Two seconds after Systemmode activation further functions are available:
1. ASR (ATC) engine control function can be tested by two times extra grounding of
a time of > 0.5 sec [ASR (ATC) commands idle torque for 10 sec.].
2. ASR (ATC) respectively Retardercontrol system can be reconfigured by three
times extra grounding of a time of > 0.5 sec (missing components can be
confirmed). Reconfiguration is confirmed by four short flashes.
Without actual fault: CLEARS ALL MEMORIZED FAULTS
CLEAR ALL is accepted and confirmed by 8 short flashes followed by the system
code.

Engine control function test:
For testing engine control function a 10 sec idle torque can be commanded if the
signal lamp is additionally two times grounded. The duration of grounding has to be
longer than 0.5 sec. and time between the two grounding has to be less than 3 sec.
The 10 sec. time starts 3 sec. after last grounding. Parallel to the engine control
function test the system blinkout continues.

Reconfiguration:
• The ECU modifies its default system (without ASR/ATC) to ASR/ATC if a
differential brake valve and one of the engine control interfaces are connected.
• Connected SAE J1939 (SAE J 1922) without a differential brake valve cause an
extension of the supervised ABS components.
• Connected endurance brake relay (DBR output) or received retarder messages
on data link (SAE J1922 resp. SAE J1939) stores and extends the ABS
components too.
Without reconfiguration such ECU’s could not be used in vehicles without those
components. Additional to diagnostic tools this reconfiguration can be done by the
means of blinkcode.
To avoid unintentional reconfiguration this function has to be confirmed by three
times grounding of the signal lamp in the way described above for engine control
function test. Before system code continues 4 short flashes confirm the modification
of parameters.
The ASR/ATC Lamp Bulbtest duration shows whether ASR/ATC is configured or not.
Without ASR/ATC: 1,5 sec. ; with ASR/ATC 3 sec. (as Warning Lamp).

DYNOTESTER FUNCTION:
For certain dynotester it is necessary to disable ASR/ATC to allow higher speed
difference between driven and steering axle. By activating system mode ASR/ATC
can be disabled. With WL Blinkcode ECU’s ASR (ATC) lamp is permanently on
indicating ASR(ATC) diabling.
To prevent dangerous situations caused by brakeforce in case of ignition off/on or
powersupply interrupts, ASR/ATC is disabled as long as there are speed differences
after ECU reset. For indication the ASR/ATC lamp is permanently on until ignition is
switched off/on.
