Volvo Chassis - ABS Controller Programming
Program ABS controller
Configuration operation found in Tech Tool. The operation will
download a configuration file for the connected vehicle and initiate
configuration of the ESP feature via the Bendix®
Vendor Configuration Program (VCP).
A specific Bendix® VCP package for Tech Tool must be installed on the
PC prior to performing an ESP configuration. This software is not
installed as part of Tech Tool and therefore must be downloaded and
installed separately. The Bendix® VCP installation can be found on the
Trucks Dealer Portal website.
* This installation file may be updated at any time and should be
downloaded only from the Trucks Dealer Portal website.
Download Instructions:
1. Login to Trucks Dealer Portal (TDP)
