The test must also confirm proper communication between the ABS ECU and the engine ECU and the retarder relay. The system must prompt the operator with step by step instructions each step of the way through the test and must indicate ?pass? or ?fail? at the end of the test. The system shall automatically provide a printout of the results indicating which brakes and which ABS components, if any, are defective or fail to meet predetermined performance requirements. The printed report format shall provide for entry and display of data unique to the operator, vehicle and work order. It must be possible to perform a complete brake, ABS and ATC test within two minutes per axle using an operator with a minimum level of training and skill. The system must be able to run automatically with the operator only having to drive the vehicle and apply the brakes. It must also be possible, if desired, to control all functions of the tester with a wireless remote control while sitting in the normal driving position. The remote control shall be supplied with the system. The contractor shall supply a complete set of installation drawings and any frame/s, structures or hardware items required for installation.

The overall width of the test area upon which the tires rest must be at least 130 inches. The development and measurement of brake forces shall be a continuous process that can be terminated by the operator when it is clear that maximum brake force has been developed. The tester must shut off automatically and store the maximum brake force if wheel lockup occurs. Left and right brake forces must be displayed directly, in real time in a manner that can be observed by the driver. Digital displays of percent difference in left and right brake forces, and equivalent deceleration must also be provided on the driver display. The system must be capable of measuring, recording and displaying rolling resistance of each wheel without the brake applied in order to check for dragging brakes and defe ctive wheel bearings. A desktop PC and ink jet printer must be supplied with the system. Operator access to the PC shall be password protected. System setup shall be via a password-protected set up utility.
