ABS Bendix Fault Code List (Troubleshooting and Reset Guide)

When it comes to fault code lists, there are many manufacturers that have created their own. While they relate to the standard SPN and FMI codes, some of these lists can be confusing if you are not paying attention. Bendix is one of those companies

Fortunately, the Bendix fault code list is not 50,000 numbers strong. But it does have more than enough fault codes to keep you busy once they start blinking. If you are not paying attention, you can miss a number and misread the fault code.

To learn more about these codes and see their list, just continue to read our article. It has the information you want to know about so you can find what is troubling your ABS system and get it repaired very quickly. The repair takes as long as it takes but having help can speed up the process.

How-do-I-Get-Bendix-Blink-Codes

To get to the active and non-active codes, Bendix has developed a system that allows you access to the ECM by using different modes. The following table will tell you how to access those modes.

When you get to #7 this is important information to follow- “To enter the Reconfiguration Mode, the switch must be held in before the application of ignition power. Once the power is supplied, the switch is released and then pressed seven times.

Number of times to push the code switch Mode system access
1 Active diagnostic trouble code retrieval
2 Inactive diagnostic trouble code retrieval
3 Clear active diagnostic trouble codes
4 System configuration check
5 Dynamometer Test Mode
7 Reconfigure ECU (See SD sheet for details.)

What is Blink Code 22 5 Bendix?

What-is-Blink-Code-22-5-Bendix

This blink code falls under the category of YAW rate sensor and it stands for YRS CAN Timeout. Its J1587 SID equivalent is 103 and its SPN FMI equivalent is 1808 & 9.

The repair instruction is as follows- “Loss of CAN communications between the ECU and the YRS. Verify proper wiring between the ECU and the YRS. Check YRS output.” (source)

So you understand what YAW means here is what Bendix has to say:

“Yaw stability counteracts the tendency of a vehicle to spin about its vertical axis.”

Bendix Fault Codes Troubleshooting

The key to doing this work is to know the correct procedure. To get to the active codes, you need to press the Diagnostic Trouble Code switch only once. This action will bring up the fault code and you can use the list to identify it.

If there is more than one code set, then the system will flash more fault codes after the first group. You have to be careful that you do not lose count. Some of these codes can blink up to 24 times for the first digit and up to 25 times for the second.

What you have to be careful of is that the ECM will not display the code if the wheel speed sensor indicates that the wheel is in motion. Then once you get the code, look up the manual we linked to above to see if any repair information is available for that problem.

If it isn’t listed you may have to leave the work for a brake specialist or continue searching for more detailed instructions. Not all codes will have a data sheet or website talking about them.

Where is The Bendix ESP Sensor Located?

Where-is-The-Bendix-ESP-Sensor-Located

This system uses several different sensors to get the information to the controller which then sends the information on to the ECM. One sensor is called the Steering angle sensor.

This component is in the steering column and you have to remove the sheathing to get to it.

Another sensor is called the wheel speed sensor and it is located in the heart of the wheel drum right below the brakes. It is located on the thickest part of the spindle nearest the axle. 

How do I Reset My Bendix?

The ECU will do that for you. According to Bendix all you have to do is follow these instructions- “The ECU will clear active trouble codes when the diagnostic blink code switch is depressed and released three times”.

Some Final Words

Next time you get a fault code for your Bendix brakes, check here first. This article has most of the information you need to know about. Then use the first link above to read more about how the system works as well as to see a Bendix ABS brake system diagram.

The diagram is color coded so you can easily trace the components and see how they are put together.
