SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
AN AXLE "NO BRAKE" CONDITION COULD RESULT FROM AN EATON CONTROLLER INTERNAL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE THE ANTI-WHEEL LOCK VALVE SOLENOID TO BE CONTINUOUSLY ENERGIZED AND PREVENT THE BRAKES FROM BEING APPLIED ON ONE OF THE AXLES. AS A RESULT, THE ANTI-WHEEL LOCK WARNING LAMP IS NOT ACTIVATED.
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE ANTI-WHEEL LOCK CONTROLLER WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

THE TEE BRACKET, WHICH IS MOUNTED ON THE FRONT AXLE OF THE BOGIE, MAY FAIL DUE TO VIBRATION BROUGHT ON BY ROAD SURFACE IRREGULARITIES. BRACKET FAILURE WOULD LEAVE THE TEE BRACKET UNSUPPORTED AND CAUSE BROKEN HOSE CONNECTOR FITTINGS. THIS WOULD RESULT IN AUTOMATIC APPLICATION OF THE SPRING EMERGENCY BRAKES.
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE BRACKET WITH A REDESIGNED VERSION.
