PREVENTIVE SYSTEM CHECKS
If the Bendix® GSBC® system detects a problem, the system will illuminate
a warning lamp on the dashboard, which will indicate which function(s) are
impacted by the problem (refer to the Dash Indicator Lamp section on page 14).

and the vehicle should be inspected by a qualied technician.

be read with a compatible vehicle diagnostic software by a properly trained
technician.

performance requires a properly maintained and inspected system,
without any active warning lamps or Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Importance of Brake Maintenance – Optimal braking requires properly
maintained truck service brakes (drum, wide-drum, or air disc), which
