REMOVAL OF THE BENDIX
®
ESP
®
EC-80
™
CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY
1. Turn vehicle ignition off.
2. Remove as much contamination as possible prior to
disconnecting electrical connections.
3. Note the Bendix ESP EC‑80 Controller assembly
mounting position on the vehicle.
4. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the Controller.
5. Remove and retain the mounting bolts that secure the
Controller.
The VIN of the vehicle is stored in the Bendix ESP
EC-80 Controller's internal memory, and is cross-
checked by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) using
information obtained from other vehicle Controller(s).
If the VIN stored in the ECU does not match the VIN
obtained from the other vehicle Controller(s), the ECU
will generate an ECU Internal VIN Mismatch Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).
Accordingly, do not attempt to move a Bendix ESP
EC-80 Controller from one vehicle to another.
OBTAINING A NEW BENDIX
®
ESP
®
EC-80
™
CONTROLLER
Should the Bendix ESP EC‑80 Controller require
replacement, certain steps must be followed:
1. Record the vehicle model, VIN, year and date of
manufacture from the vehicle.
2. Record the part number of the Bendix ESP EC‑80
Controller.
3. Provide this information to your local OEM vehicle
service department to obtain a new Bendix ESP EC‑80
ECU. The OEM service department will install the same
parameter set in the new Controller that was loaded into
the original ECU at the vehicle OEM assembly facility.
INSTALLING A NEW BENDIX ESP EC-80
CONTROLLER
When replacing the Bendix ESP EC-80 Controller,
verify with the OEM service department that the unit
you are installing has the correct parameter set.
Failure to do so could result in a loss of features or
degraded ESP performance.
For further information, contact either the vehicle
manufacturer, Bendix, or your local authorized Bendix
distributor.
1. Position and secure the Bendix ESP EC‑80 Controller
in the original mounting orientation using the mounting
bolts retained during removal. Use no more torque than
is necessary to rmly secure the ECU into position.
Over‑tightening the mounting hardware can cause
damage to the Bendix ESP EC‑80 Controller.
2. Reconnect the electrical connectors to the Bendix
EC‑80 Controller.
3. Apply power and monitor the Bendix ESP EC‑80
Controller power‑up sequence to Verify the proper
system operation.
See Troubleshooting: Wiring section beginning on page 45
for more information on wire harnesses.
The Bendix ESP system with the EC-80 Controller is
validated with specic Bendix
®
brand components.
Always use Bendix brand replacement parts to
prevent compromising system performance.
Bendix is not able to validate the safe and reliable
use of substitute or alternate components that
may be available from other manufacturers, since
suppliers of a non-Bendix brand ABS component
may implement design changes in their component
(without the knowledge or approval of Bendix) which
could negatively affect antilock system reliability
and braking performance issues.
