If the electronic unit detects a system fault, this
fault is usually stored in the memory of the
electronic unit as a fault code.
Most system faults will also generate a warning.
If there is an electrical fault in the EBS system,
the symptom "open circuit in EBS pressure
control" or "deactivation of EBS pressure control"
may occur as a system reaction.
Open circuit in EBS pressure control
On application of the foot brake valve, the
electronic unit will receive information on the
desired vehicle deceleration from the brake pedal
position sensor in the foot brake valve.
In the electronic unit, this vehicle deceleration
command is converted into brake pressure to the
brake cylinders.
If there is no feedback from the output pressure
or wheel speed, there will be less accurate
electronically controlled deceleration and brake
force distribution.
Deactivation of EBS pressure control
The output pressure control in the brake cylinders
is entirely pneumatic; i.e. there is no more
electronically controlled deceleration and brake
force distribution.

Customer parameters are the settings of an
electronic system. The customer parameters
permit adapting control functions of a system to
the customer's particular wishes and/or needs
within certain limits. The customer parameters
are stored in a list in the memory of the electronic
unit. Customer parameters can be modified using
the programming feature of DAVIE XD.
Programming using DAVIE XD is only possible if
the logged-in user has been registered as a
"Master Technician".
Note:
Erroneous settings of customer parameters may
affect the action of control functions to such an
extent that they function eratically or not at all.
After modification of the settings the (modified)
customer parameters must be stored in the
electronic unit using the programming function in
the customer parameter overview.
EBS customer parameters
1
Customer parameter names and codes
Each customer parameter in a system has its
own name and code. The following explanation of
the customer parameters includes only the
codes. The availability of a customer parameter
in a system depends on the programmed
software in the electronic unit. The programmed
software depends on the vehicle configuration/
identity card data.
Standard values
Standard values, options and setting ranges may
vary according to the software variants of
DAVIE XD and the system. This is why they have
not been included in the following explanation of
the customer parameters.
If the tyre size is changed or if the vehicle is
adjusted in such a way that the configuration is
changed, the electronic unit may have to be reprogrammed.
If the electronic unit detects a system fault, this
fault is usually stored in the memory of the
electronic unit as a fault code.
Most system faults will also generate a warning.
