WABCO Roll Stability System (RSS+) Blink Code Diagnostics

RSS E


The Plus (E) Version of the RSS includes blink code diagnostic display It requires a constant power to the ABS is provided by the auxiliary (blue) wire in the harness. This circuit must be powered on and off in proper sequence. This can be done by turning the key switch on a properly wired tractor connected to the trailer or switching the auxliary (blue) circuit using a light tester or other suitable means.
Battery chargers and many other AC converters can cause the system to react erratically. A well charged 12 volt battery is the recommended source for a tester.


Initiate Blink Code Display On Trailer Warning Lamp
1. Turn on power to the blue (constant circuit) wire for no more than five seconds.
2. Turn off the power off for a moment.
3. Turn the power back on
4. If light goes off after a few seconds there is no active fault. Otherwise continue to step 5.
5. After a short delay the warn lamp will flash several quick times followed by a longer pause.
6. Count the quick flashes to get the fault blink code. This will be repeated three times
7. See the chart below for more information about specific codes

Light Blink Code Cause Location Checks
