My Tenure is Over

It will alert and beep and scare you to death - but according to OnGuard and Bendix literature it cannot control the brakes unless thr cruise is on.

 

$1300 plus benefits for a 5 day week not good?

 

Yes, but literature plus experience tells me the guy is mistaken in what he percieved.

 

I love reading about this, don't think I would like driving something like it though.

 

It sure is a good thing that nothing has ever malfunctioned on a truck, especially electronics. lol

 

An ecm looking for a cruise enable signal is a simple yes or no on a designated input pin of a PLC. An on or off, or put differently, a completed circuit. Cruise enable is a switch completing a circuit, thats all.

Every time youve had a blown fuse, it was an accidentally completed circuit. Cruise malfunctions have a probabilty thats loosely in the ballpark of the probability of blowing a fuse. Since enabling cruise is essentially the same action as blowing a fuse. The completion of a circuit, whether intentional or otherwise.

 

Aren't you are the one who thought a "vandal" deflated ONE of your tires?

In 9 months you have had a "couple of mistakes" and got fired from Swift.

Sorry, I'm not going to take your statments as 100% aware. You have what you percieve the truth to be, but you aren't seeing the whole picture. Watch Roshomon if you don't follow what I mean.

In the last 3 weeks I have had 12 stability control events. After the first I had my truck in the shop and we found a code for the yaw sensor losing data. A few years ago when OnGaurd was freaking out on me, I ran the foot pedal until I got into a shop and got the gimble repaired.

It is possible for the cms to malfunction.

It is also possible for me to get the darn thing fixed, or at least documented so I don't penalized.

However the likelihood that the cms was tripped in a parking lot by someone walking out in front of the truck, with the cruise off is astronomically low. The number of failures would be such that there would be codes on the dash. Codes that would disable the system.

I have watched too many guys drive with the cruise or engune brake on without realizing they were on too take "my cms engaged with the cruise off" at face value. When I hear hoof beats, I think horses, not zebras.
