ABS: ROBUST INTELLIGENCE
A key aspect of the Bendix strategy was to build upon
the cost-effective, well-established North American brake
system with proven sensors and algorithms to deliver robust
platforms with capabilities previously believed to only be
available through ECBS (Electronically Controlled Braking
Systems) without the significant training and service challenges.
The Bendix®ABS-6 and TABS-6 platforms are the most
intelligent platforms for antilock braking systems on the
market today.
Now available in three responsive, power vehicle platforms,
ABS-6 Standard, ABS-6 Premium and ABS-6 Advanced,
and two trailer platforms, TABS-6 Standard and TABS-6
Premium, our systems feature an initial architecture that
holds expansive potential for the integration of future
technologies down the road.

REDUCED SERVICE TIME,
EFFICIENT DIAGNOSTICS
If your trucks aren’t on the road, they’re costing you
money. Focusing on quick turnarounds, we offer a suite of
diagnostic tools that put accuracy and speed on your side.
Equally important, they are tools that match your shop’s
specific needs, such as experience, technology on the floor,
size and other factors.
MORE CONFIDENCE WITH “CHUFF”
In addition to traditional blink codes, the well-known,
patented Bendix®“Chuff” is standard on all Bendix systems.
By energizing the modulator in a patterned sequence, it
provides a quick, audible check to ensure that the system is
ready to go or has been repaired correctly.
ALL YOU NEED –
RIGHT IN YOUR POCKET
Destined to become a favorite among service technicians,
the Pocket RDU (Remote Diagnostic Unit) plugs into
the connector on the dash and provides an immediate
system status. No waiting for blink codes. No thumbing
through manuals.
