When the controller senses an erroneous condition, it stores the condition in memory,
disables the antilock or traction function, and illuminates the dash-mounted condition
lamp and appropriate diagnostic LEDs on the EC-16. The failure condition is truly
stored and is not cleared by loss of power to the EC-16. The LEDs will re-light when
power is restored, and remain illuminated until the failure is corrected. After the actual
problem is corrected, maintenance personnel can clear or reset the EC-16 diagnostics
by holding a small magnet over the RESET point on the diagnostic display.
DIAGNOSTIC LEDS
There are ten LEDs plus a magnetically actuated reset switch in the EC-16 diagnostic
display. The first six LEDs locate a problem to a specific area of the vehicle, and the
next three indicate the problem component or is wiring. The LEDs are software-driven
and are either ON or OFF, depending on their monitor function. (Note: right and left,
front and rear are determined from the driver’s seat.)

RESET + No LED
NOTE: The MID LED is used with some but not all vehicles. When six speed sen-
sors are not installed, this LED is not used in the diagnostic process. However, it
will light when a magnet is placed on the RESET switch in the diagnostic display.
“RESET”
Beneath the RESET area of the display is a magnetically sensitive switch that is used
to reset the diagnostic system. The device will respond to a magnet which has
strength sufficient to lift a three (3) ounce weight. Momentarily holding a magnet
against the RESET will cause ALL LEDs to light during the time the magnet is against
it. Holding a magnet against the RESET longer than 10-20 seconds will cause the EC-
16 to initiate the self-configuration feature.
EC-16 CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION
General
All EC-16 controllers manufactured on or after August 1, 1995 incorporate the
self-confining feature. New replacement EC-16 controllers will be provided factory
pre-programmed for 6 speed sensor inputs and both the differential braking and
torque-limiting features for traction control.
