FIGURE 1 - M-40QR™ AND M-40HF™ PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVES

The Bendix® M-40QR™ (quick release) and M-40HF™ (high
flow) pressure modulator valves (PMVs) are high-capacity,
on/off air valves that incorporate a pair of electrical
solenoids for control. See Figure 1. The solenoids provide
the electro-pneumatic interface between the vehicle’s
electronic control system and the air brake system. For
example, the PMV is used to control the braking function
of service actuators during antilock activity.

The supply, delivery and exhaust ports on the Bendix M-40
modulators have embossed identification codes.

The modulator consists of a die cast metal and plastic body
that houses one normally-open solenoid, one normallyclosed solenoid, and an inlet and exhaust diaphragm
valve. A three-pin weather-resistant electrical connector
is an integral part of the modulator solenoid assembly
and delivers the vehicle controller’s commands to the
modulator. Two mounting holes are provided for frame or
crossmember mounting of the valve.
The Bendix M-40QR modulator is the direct replacement
for the Bendix M-32QR modulator (See Figure 2). The
Bendix M-40QR modulator has a bias valve to provide an
internal quick-release function.

FIGURE 3 - PORT DESIGNATION AND FUNCTION

APPLICATIONS
Bendix M-40 modulators may be used for various purposes
on a vehicle including ABS and stability interventions. In
applications using these PMVs, an external quick release
valve may also be required, depending on the system
design. Where the modulator is used for individual wheel
control applications, it is typically the last control valve
through which air passes on its way to the service brake
actuator. See Figure 4 for a typical system schematic.

GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following guidelines should be observed AT ALL TIMES:
▲ Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brakes and always block the wheels.
Always wear personal protection equipment.
▲ Stop the engine and remove the ignition key
when working under or around the vehicle.
When working in the engine compartment,
the engine should be shut off and the ignition
key should be removed. Where circumstances
require that the engine be in operation, EXTREME
CAUTION should be used to prevent personal
injury resulting from contact with moving,
rotating, leaking, heated or electrically-charged
components.
▲ Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble
or assemble a component until you have read,
and thoroughly understand, the recommended
procedures. Use only the proper tools and
observe all precautions pertaining to use of those
tools.
▲ If the work is being performed on the vehicle’s
air brake system, or any auxiliary pressurized air
systems, make certain to drain the air pressure
from all reservoirs before beginning ANY work
on the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a
Bendix® AD-IS® air dryer system, a Bendix® DRM™
dryer reservoir module, or a Bendix® AD-9si™ air
dryer, be sure to drain the purge reservoir.
▲ F o l l o w i n g t h e v e h i c l e m a n u f a c t u r e r ’s
recommended procedures, deactivate the
electrical system in a manner that safely removes
all electrical power from the vehicle.

▲ Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended
pressures.
▲ Never connect or disconnect a hose or line
containing pressure; it may whip. Never remove
a component or plug unless you are certain all
system pressure has been depleted.
▲ Use only genuine Bendix ® brand replacement
parts, components and kits. 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.
▲ Components with stripped threads or damaged
parts should be replaced rather than repaired.
Do not attempt repairs requiring machining or
welding unless specifically stated and approved
by the vehicle and component manufacturer.
▲ Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make
certain all components and systems are restored
to their proper operating condition.
▲ For vehicles with Automatic Traction Control
(ATC), the ATC function must be disabled (ATC
indicator lamp should be ON) prior to performing
any vehicle maintenance where one or more
wheels on a drive axle are lifted off the ground
and moving.
▲ The power MUST be temporarily disconnected
from the radar sensor whenever any tests USING
A DYNAMOMETER are conducted on a Bendix®
Wingman® Advanced™-equipped vehicle.

▲ You should consult the vehicle manufacturer's operating and service manuals, and any related literature,
in conjunction with the Guidelines above.

PRESSURE MODULATOR VALVE (PMV) AND
TRACTION CONTROL VALVE (TCV) CHUFF TEST
A wiring harness connects the vehicle modulators to the
controller. The ABS controller is able to simultaneously,
and independently, control the individual modulators.
Bendix® Electronic Control Units (ECUs) perform a Bendixpatented PMV and TCV Chuff Test. The Chuff Test is
an electrical and pneumatic PMV test that can assist
maintenance personnel in verifying proper PMV wiring and
installation. This test is performed only when the vehicle
is stationary (if the vehicle moves, the Chuff Test will not
be performed).
NOTE: If there are any active Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs), the stop lamp cross-check portion of the Chuff Test
will not be carried out until all DTCs are fully diagnosed and
corresponding repairs are successfully conducted. The
ESP/ATC dash indicator lamp ATC/ESP Lamp — a lamp
that indicates when stability functions, including traction
control, roll stability program or yaw control are operating
— will also be illuminated when there are active ABS,
ATC or ESP DTCs. (See the Glossary on page 8 for more
information on these terms.)

See Figure 5. When ignition power is applied, each
modulator solenoid is briefly energized. If the air system is
fully charged — and the service brake pedal is depressed
during ignition — the modulator creates a single, sharp
audible “chuff” of air pressure. Bendix ECUs will perform
a PMV Chuff Test on all installed modulators in the order
shown in Figure 5. The pattern will then repeat itself.

If equipped with a Bendix® EC-60 ® (or later) advanced
controller, following the completion of the second round
of PMV & TCV Chuff Tests, the controller (if configured to
do so) will perform a test to cross-check the trailer PMV
operation with the vehicle stop lamps. If the trailer PMV
circuit is mis‑wired (including the steer axle TCV), the PMV
will exhaust a large amount of air, or none at all.

ANTILOCK OPERATION
GENERAL
See Figure 6.
The first four rows of this table show normal vehicle braking
where the PMV does not intervene. In the case of a
rapid, non-antilock release of the brakes (e.g. if the driver
releases the brakes after a severe brake application), the
Bendix® M-40QR™ PMV assists the quick release of the
brakes by being the point at which the air is exhausted.
The final four rows of the table show the actions taken
during an antilock braking event.

ANTILOCK APPLY MODE

ANTILOCK “REAPPLY” MODE

If a service brake application is made and the antilock
system detects an impending wheel lockup, the antilock
controller will make a controlled brake application using
the modulator.

If the antilock controller senses that wheel speed has
increased sufficiently enough to allow re-application of
braking pressure, without further wheel lock-up, it permits
the supply air to re-apply air to the brakes in the same
manner it did during a non-antilock event.

In order to control the brake application, the coils of the two
solenoid valves contained in the modulator are energized
or de-energized in a pre-programmed sequence by the
antilock controller. When a solenoid coil is energized,
and — depending on whether the exhaust or hold solenoid
is energized — it either opens or closes, thereby causing
the exhaust or reapplication of air pressure to the brake
actuator. The solenoids in the modulator are controlled
independently by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
Before ABS systems, drivers would sometimes “pump the
brakes” in order to attempt to prevent wheel lock-up and
maintain vehicle control. In the case of an ABS braking
system, the antilock controller is able to apply and release
the brakes using the modulators, automatically, with far
greater speed and accuracy. Depending on the number of
modulators used, some systems are able to apply braking
power to wheels independently.

ANTILOCK EXHAUST MODE
When wheel lock is detected or imminent, the antilock
controller energizes the supply and exhaust solenoids in
the modulator.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Read and follow the General Safety Guidelines on
page 2 of this document.
Perform the tests and inspections presented at the
prescribed intervals. If the modulator fails to function as
described, or if the leakage is excessive, replace it with a
new Bendix® brand unit, available at any authorized parts
outlet.

EVERY MONTH, 10,000 MILES OR
350 OPERATING HOURS
1. Remove any accumulated contaminates and visually
inspect the exterior for excessive corrosion and physical
damage.
2. Inspect all air hoses and wire harnesses connected to
the modulator for signs of wear or physical damage.
Replace as necessary.
3. Test air line fittings for leakage and tighten or replace
as necessary.

Further delivery of air to the brake chamber is prevented,
and air is allowed to exhaust through the exhaust port.

4. Perform the routine OPERATION & LEAKAGE TESTS
described below.

ANTILOCK HOLD MODE

OPERATION & LEAKAGE TESTS

The antilock controller will place the modulator in the hold
position when information from the wheel speed sensors
shows that the correct wheel speed (braking force) has
been attained. The antilock controller will also place the
modulator in the hold position — prior to entering the
reapply mode — when it detects recovery from a locked
wheel condition.

OPERATION TEST

In this mode of operation, the exhaust passage is sealed,
holding the air pressure in the brake chamber at that level.
At the same time, no application air is permitted to flow to
the brake chamber.
The modulator can enter both the antilock exhaust or
reapply mode from the antilock hold mode depending on
the needs of the antilock controller.

This test uses the Chuff Test (described on page 3).
To properly test the function of the modulator will require
two (2) service technicians.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and block or chock
the wheels. Release the parking brakes and build the
air system to governor cut out.
2. Turn the engine ignition key to the OFF position then
make and hold a full brake application.
3. With the brake application held and one (1) service
technician posted at one (1) of the modulators, turn the
vehicle ignition key to the ON position. ONE OR TWO
SHORT bursts of air pressure should be noted at the
modulator exhaust. Repeat the test for each modulator
on the vehicle. If at least a single burst of exhaust is
not noted or the exhaust of air is prolonged and not
short, sharp and well defined, perform the Electrical
Tests.

LEAKAGE TEST
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and block or chock
the wheels. Release the parking brakes and build the
air system to full pressure.
2. Turn the engine OFF and make 4 or 5 brake applications
and note that the service brakes apply and release
promptly.

3. Build system pressure to governor cut-out
and turn the

5. Begin timing pressure loss for two minutes while
watching the dash gauges for a pressure drop. The
leakage rate for the service reservoirs should not exceed four (4) psi within two minutes for a single vehicle,
six (6) psi. within two minutes for a tractor/trailer, and
eight (8) psi within two minutes for a tractor with two
trailers.
6. If either circuit exceeds the leakage values above, apply
soap solution to the exhaust port of the modulators and
any other components in the respective circuit.
7. The leakage at the exhaust port of most Bendix
components, including M-40™ modulators, should not
exceed a one-inch bubble in three seconds. If leakage
at the modulator is determined to exceed the maximum
limits, replace the modulator.
