IDENTIFYING THE SELF CONFIGURING EC-16
™
CONTROLLER
The self confi guring EC-16
™
controller can most easily be
identifi ed while installed on the vehicle. Identifi cation can
be made by observing the reaction of the diagnostic display
when the ignition is switched ON and power is applied to
the EC-16
™
controller. The current confi guration of the
EC-16
™
controller is displayed via the troubleshooting LEDs
and occurs during the normal self test sequence. This
confi guration review is repeated each time the ignition is
turned on. The sequence and manner of LED illumination
is described in the section entitled EC-16
™
Controller
Confi guration Display. That section should also be used to
confi rm that the system is confi gured as desired.
The diagnostic LEDs on older versions of the EC-16
™
controller will only react as described in items 2 and 6
under the section entitled EC-16
™
Controller Confi guration
Display.
EC-16

CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION
DISPLAY
1. Turn the ignition ON.
2. All LEDs will illuminate then go out.
3. The number of active sensors will be displayed by the
momentary illumination of the red SEN (sensor) LED
and two or more of the red locating LEDs. No other
LEDs will be on.
A. SEN + FRT (front) + RER (rear) = A four sensor
confi guration (all systems must have at least a 4
sensor confi guration)
B. SEN + FRT + MID (middle) + RER = A six sensor
confi guration
4. The red TRC LED will momentarily illuminate by itself
if traction control torque limiting is active, if not, then
the display will go to the condition described in #5.
5. The red TRC and MOD LEDs will momentarily illuminate
if traction control differential braking is active, if not, then
the display will go to the condition described in #6. No
other LEDs will be on.
6. The diagnostic display will return to its normal
operational status. Assuming no problems exist in the
antilock or traction system, all red LEDs will be off and
the single, green, VLT LED is illuminated.

CONTROLLER SELF CONFIGURING
PROCESS
Important General Information
1. Three aspects of the antilock and traction system are
infl uenced by the self confi guring feature of the EC-16
™
controller.
A. Speed Sensors The number of speed sensors
connected to the EC-16
™
controller will be detected
during the self confi guration process. The EC-16
™
controller will check the MID SEN (mid axle speed
sensor) locations on its connector to determine if
a sensor is connected to it and will default to a six
sensor confi guration if it detects even one sensor
connected. If no mid axle speed sensor is detected,
the EC-16
™
controller will default to a four sensor
confi guration.
B. Electronic Engine Control If the EC-16
™
controller
is connected to the control module of an electronic
engine, the torque limiting feature of traction
control will be activated during the self confi guring
process.
C. Antilock Traction Relay Valve If the solenoid
assembly in the ATR valve is connected to the
EC-16
™
controller, the differential braking feature
of traction control will be activated during the self
confi guring process.
2. No method is available to disable the self confi guration
feature.
3. Due to the extended period of time the magnet must
be held on the RESET to initiate the self confi guration
process (20 seconds), it is unlikely that a self
confi guration would occur accidentally.
4. Basic, four speed sensor, antilock operation can not be
removed during the self confi guration process. This is
a minimum confi guration for all EC-16
™
controllers.
5. If a speed sensor is connected to either wheel on the
mid axle the EC-16
™
controller will confi gure for six
sensors. If no mid axle speed sensor is detected, the
EC-16
™
controller will confi gure for four sensors. Any
disconnected speed sensor(s) will register as a failure
on the diagnostic display at the end of the EC-16
™
controller self test.
