Group 9 Wheels

The vehicle is equipped with six wheel speed

sensors one for each wheel on the three rear
axles.
The wheel speed sensor records the speed of
the relevant wheel and sends the signal to the
ABS control unit. The pulse wheel is designed
so that a magnetic flux is created in the wheel
speed sensor when the wheel rotates. The
magnetic flux generates a frequency which the
control unit uses to calculate the rotational
speed of the wheel.

Group 10 Brakes
ABS control valves
The vehicle is equipped with six ABS control
valves one for each wheel on the three rear
axles. The control valves adjust the air pressure
to brake cylinders during ABS control.
The control valves have three control
functions:

Pressure increase (normal mode): Inlet

open and exhaust closed.

Pressure drop: Inlet closed and exhaust

open.

Pressure retention: Inlet and exhaust

closed.

The control unit activates the function of the

control valves as necessary:

For ABS control, the control unit uses the

control valves to prevent the wheels from
locking.

During TC modulation, the ABS control

unit uses the control valves to apply brake
pressure to the driving wheel that is
slipping.

During EBL modulation, the ABS control

unit uses the control valves to adapt the
pressure in the rear brake circuit to the load
of the vehicle.

Fault messages in the instrument

cluster
Serious faults are indicated via a short acoustic
signal and a message in the display when
driving with blackout lighting.
To view messages in the display without
deactivating blackout lighting, a torch or the
like can be used to light up the display.
All warnings that are notified via an acoustic
signal when driving with blackout lighting are
serious and mean that you should stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
Warnings and messages will remain until you
acknowledge them.
The following warnings are indicated via a
short acoustic signal when driving with
blackout lighting:

Venting cold-weather-adaptation
parts
Poor performance of cold weather adaptation
parts could be caused by air in the system. If
this is the case, the system must be vented.
Note: Coolant filling must always be done via
the designated union under the vehicle cab. See
Scania Multi 02-00 Cooling system.
Venting procedure
1 Start the vehicle engine and auxiliary
heater.
2 Increase engine speed slightly.
3 Shut off the flow of coolant to the coldweather-adapted parts using the rotary
control (1) on the fluid distributor.
4 Increase engine speed slightly.
5 Open the flow of coolant to the coldweather-adapted parts using the rotary
control (1).
6 Shut off the flow of coolant to the battery
heater using the rotary control (2) located
at the battery heater.
7 Shut off the flow of coolant from the
circulation pump to the cab heater.
The flow is shut off by choking the hose
between the circulation pump branch
connection and the cab heater with a clamp
or in another suitable manner.
