U s e r M a n u a l

Note: The safety advice below is applicable to general service and diagnostic work on air braking systems and may not all be directly relevant to the activities and products described in this document.

Before and whilst working on or around air braking systems and devices, the following precautions should be observed in addition to any specific advice given in this document:

• Always wear safety glasses when working with air pressure.

• Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended air pressures.

• Never look into air jets or direct them at anyone.

• Never connect or disconnect a hose or line containing pressure; it may whip as air escapes.

• Never remove a device or pipe plug unless you are certain all system pressure has been depleted.

• Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking brakes, and always chock the wheels as depleting vehicle air system pressure may cause the vehicle to roll.

• If work is being performed on the vehicle’s air braking system, or any auxiliary pressurised air systems, and if it is necessary to drain the air pressure from reservoirs, etc., keep clear of brake actuator push rods and levers since they may move as system pressure drops. Be aware that if the vehicle is equipped with an air dryer system, it can also contain air pressure along with its purge reservoir, if fitted, even after pressure has been drained from the other reservoirs.

• When working under or around the vehicle, and particularly when working in the engine compartment, the engine should be shut off and the ignition key removed. Where circumstances require that the engine be running, EXTREME CAUTION should be taken to prevent personal injury resulting from contact with moving, rotating, leaking, heated or electrically charged components. Additionally, it is advisable to place a clear sign on or near the steering wheel advising that there is work in progress on the vehicle.

• Examine all pipework for signs of kinks, dents, abrasion, drying out or overheating. Be aware that kinks in pipework may result in air pressure being trapped in the pipework and associated equipment. Replacement hardware, tubing, hose, fittings, etc. must be of equivalent size, type and strength as original equipment and be designed specifically for such applications and systems. Check the attachment of all pipework; it should be supported so that it cannot abrade or be subjected to excessive heat.

• Components with stripped threads or damaged/corroded parts should be replaced rather than repaired. Do not attempt repairs requiring machining or welding unless specifically stated and approved by the vehicle or component manufacturer.

• Never attempt to install, remove, disassemble or assemble a device until you have read and thoroughly understood the recommended procedures. Some units contain powerful springs and injury can result if not properly dismantled. Use only the correct tools and observe all precautions pertaining to use of those tools. Before removing any device note its position and the connections of all pipework so that the replacement/serviced device can be properly installed. Ensure that adequate support or assistance is provided for the removal/installation of heavy items.

• Use only genuine Knorr-Bremse replacement parts, components and kits.

• Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain all components and systems are leak free and restored to their proper operating condition.

Welding

To avoid damage to electronic components when carrying out electrical welding, the following precautions should be observed:

• In all cases, before starting any electrical welding, remove all connections from any electronic control units or modules, noting their position and the order in which they are removed.

• When re-inserting the electrical connectors (in reverse order) it is essential that they are fitted to their correct assigned position - if necessary this must be checked by PC Diagnostics.

I n s t a l l a t i o n I n s t r u c t i o n s f o r E C U ta l k®

2.3 Program Start

Before ECUtalk® is started, the communication interface UDIF must be connected to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and to the “COM1”- or “COM2” - serial interface connector at the PC (9-pin connector). The TIM G2 unit must be powered before communications will commence.

If no serial port is available, the Knorr-Bremse recommended USB to serial adapter cable Z007887 can be used as an alternative (Note a proprietary cable may not work correctly). When this is used the appropriate USB to serial driver must first be installed on the PC. The serial driver is included on the CD supplied with the cable adaptor or may be obtained from your Knorr-Bremse representative.

The software version of UDIF should be updated if necessary. For this operation refer to section 3.1.1 “UDIF_Software”.

6.1 Virtual Switches

Configuration with ECUtalk®:

Any function configured in TEBS G2 that use a switch and is assigned to TIM via „Current configurable menu“ can be actuated by the buttons on the TIM’s user interface.

If TEBS G2 offers ADL functionality with ADL Input control and a TIM G2 is available too, the buttons of the TIM’s control panel may be used for ADL Input control instead of adding further switches to the trailer chassis. The relevant menu entries to be assigned to the left side of the “configurable menu settings” window are #ADL… , e.g. #ADL INA (Fig.26).

Also tri-state and analogue switches for ADL are supported. The up button of the TIM user interface will increase the value with each actuation, while the down button will decrease the value each time. In case of analogue switches either of the buttons have to be kept pressed until the required value is reached.

Usage with TIM: Digital Switch:

Use the up and down buttons of the TIM control panel to scroll between the functions and the return button to switch the ADL function on and off.

Tri-state and Analogue Switches:

Use the up and down buttons of the TIM control panel to scroll between the functions and the return button to activate the switch. Activation is indicated with an asterisk (*). When activated use the up and down buttons again to modify the state of the switch. Use the return button again to deactivate the switch.

It is possible to assign new names to the #ADL Input on and off states, in the menu of the TIM G2 user interface. E.g. #ADL INA ON could be renamed to Enable TH, see also next chapter.

Also it is possible to assign new names to the #ADL Tri-state Input pull-up, pull-down and off states.

In case of an #ADL Analogue Input the name of the function can be renamed instead of its states.

Special settings for virtual switches

With TIM G2 application program version 10.71 or higher a new setting for virtual switches is introduced.Here you can configure if the switch is momentary or permanent and if it will keep its state after ignition OFF/ ON or not.

Selecting the “OK” button confirms the current settings, selecting “Cancel” drops any last changes.Selecting “Don’t show load histogram” check box hides the “Load history” menu item on the TIM’s screen. This modification comes into effect after an ECU reset.

Configured type Effect

Momentary = No The state stays “switched “after the button is released

Momentary = Yes The state is reset after the button is released

Volatile = No Switched status will be kept after ignition OFF/ON

Volatile = Yes Status will be reset after ignition OFF/ON

11. Unlock TIM

ECUtalk® provides the possibility to unlock a TIM which is paired to the first TEBS G2 ECU it was connected to (locked state) and therefore will not work with a new TEBS G2 unit if separated from the original one. There are two ways of unlocking a “locked” TIM:

11.1 Unlocking in demo mode

When a “locked” TIM is connected to another TEBS G2 ECU, the following message can be read on the TIM’s screen: New ECU found! Enter unlock code. ‘TIM G2 code’ ‘Unlock code’

Where the ‘TIM G2 code’ is a “read only”, numeric value of four digits, the ‘Unlock code’ is an editable field. By using the Up/Down-buttons of the TIM user interface the four digit unlock code can be set.

Now start the ECUtalk® for TIM G2 in demo mode and select the “System/Unlock TIM…” menu item ...

... or press the button “Unlock TIM” of the task bar.

U n l o c k T I M

The following dialogue appears on the screen:

Fig. 43

Enter the four digits at “Enter TIM G2 code here:”, then press the “Generate” button. The next dialogue shows the number of required credits.

Fig. 44

Click “OK” to confirm the credit usage. Find your four digits PIN code in the dialogue.

Attention:

If you do not use it immediately then please save it, generating it again takes credits again.

Now type your PIN code value into the TIM. Use the TIM’s Up/Down buttons to set the digit’s value and step to the next digit. When all digits are set to the right value press the enter button. Now the TIM becomes locked to the new TEBS G2 ECU.

11.2 Unlocking in real mode

If your TIM is locked to any TEBS G2 ECU the following dialogue appears on the screen:

Fig. 45

Click “OK” to confirm the credit usage. Your TIM is unlocked now. Be aware that next time when the TIM communicates with a TEBS G2 ECU it locks itself immediately to that particular TEBS module.

If your TIM is not locked to any TEBS G2 ECU the following dialogue appears on the screen:

12. Flash

ECUtalk® provides the possibility to upgrade the TIM G2 application software. The upgrade process consists of the following steps:

Knorr-Bremse provides an ECUtalk® for TIM G2 installation package including the ECU flash update package or a separate flash update package − the so called “UpdatePackage” − which contains all necessary information and files.

Start this package installation and follow the instructions.

Start ECUtalk® for TIM G2 diagnostic software.

If the currently installed application software is corrupt for any reason the user is asked to enter the part number.

Because the system does not know if the current type of Software was TIM G2 for TEBS G2 or TIM G2 for TEBS4 (replacement for TIM1) both update packages are offered:

12.1 Replace a TIM1 (TIM G2 downgrade)

You can downgrade a TIM G2 to replace a TIM1 connected to a TEBS4 via K-Line.

To do so you need to exchange the application software by flashing it with the update package TIM G2 for TEBS4.

A TIM G2 can be downgraded under the following conditions:

1. The TIM G2 Module must be able to communicate via the K-Line, for validation ECUtalk® reads the part number of the currently connected TIM, the software version part of the number must match with V02 or higher.

2. The TIM G2 for TEBS4 ECU application update package must be found on the hard drive.

If those are fulfilled the user can select the flash TIM G2 for TEBS4 from the menu.

Selecting the function will start the Flash download sequence described in earlier in this chapter.
