Unlock OEM‑Level Bendix Diagnostics with the Bendix ACom AE Add‑On for Your Jaltest Unit

For shops and fleets that work with medium‑ and heavy‑duty trucks, Bendix electronic systems are everywhere—ABS, stability control, air treatment, brake controls, ADAS features, and more. Getting deep insight into these systems often required separate OEM software that was clunky, costly, and disconnected from your primary diagnostic workflow.

That’s changed with the Bendix ACom AE add‑on for Jaltest Diagnostics—the next‑generation diagnostic module that replaces Bendix ACom Pro and provides comprehensive OEM‑level coverage directly within your Jaltest platform.

What Is Bendix ACom AE?

Bendix ACom AE is the latest diagnostic software from Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, designed to support current and future Bendix electronic systems on tractors and trailers. It replaces the previous Bendix ACom Pro diagnostic software, which is no longer available for purchase as of September 1, 2024. Support for ACom Pro will continue through the end of active licenses but will sunset entirely by August 31, 2025.

Built on Jaltest’s diagnostic framework, Bendix ACom AE integrates directly into Jaltest Diagnostics as an add‑on module—bringing OEM‑style diagnostics into the same platform you already use for multi‑brand vehicle coverage.

Why the Transition from ACom Pro Matters

Bendix ACom AE is more than just a new name. It reflects:

  • Expanded System Support: ACom AE provides enhanced coverage for Bendix’s latest electronic technologies, including Global Scalable Brake Control (GSBC) and Global Scalable Air Treatment (GSAT) systems, which are increasingly common on modern commercial vehicles.
  • OEM‑Grade Diagnostics: Support for tractor and trailer Bendix systems with detailed fault data, bidirectional communication, configuration, calibration, and advanced troubleshooting.
  • Built‑On Jaltest Technology: Since ACom AE is modeled on Jaltest software, technicians benefit from a familiar interface, shared workflows, and tighter integration with your existing Jaltest diagnostic routines.

The move away from ACom Pro aligns with industry trends toward more sophisticated, electronic braking and air systems—and ensures technicians are equipped for today’s fleets.

What Bendix ACom AE Adds to Your Jaltest Tool

When you activate the Bendix ACom AE add‑on in your Jaltest Diagnostics software, you gain powerful capabilities that go well beyond basic code reading:

OEM‑Level Fault Reporting

Generate detailed Bendix OEM DTC reports showing active and inactive codes, helping techs diagnose issues with precision rather than guesswork.

Expanded System Access

ACom AE supports critical Bendix systems such as:

  • GSBC electronic braking
  • GSAT air treatment
  • ABS and stability systems
  • Trailer brake controls
  • Advanced safety sensors and anti‑collision systems
    …with full bidirectional control and troubleshooting options.

Parameter Adjustments and Advanced Tests

Modify configurable parameters, run component tests, and check system responses—functions traditionally locked behind manufacturer‐specific tools.

Streamlined Workflow

Because ACom AE operates within the Jaltest interface, you no longer need to switch between separate Bendix apps and your main diagnostic platform. One login, one workflow, one training curve.

Who Benefits Most from the Bendix AE Add‑On

The Bendix ACom AE module is especially valuable for:

  • Heavy‑Duty and Trailer Service Shops with frequent Bendix equipment
  • Fleet Maintenance Teams working on both tractors and trailers
  • Technicians focused on safety‑critical systems like brakes and air management
  • Shops looking to consolidate tools and reduce the number of separate OEM subscriptions

Because it’s a subscription‑based add‑on, it also ensures you always have access to the latest feature updates—without needing to repurchase a standalone Bendix license.
