Scania 6×2 B 1995 Workshop Manual – Electronic Level Control (ELC) System

I’ve seen too many techs chase air suspension ghosts on these trucks. They replace bellows, swap valves, still the ride height is off. Nine times out of ten, the problem is in the ELC control unit or its wiring – and you’re working blind without the factory troubleshooting guide. This Scania 6×2 B 1995 Workshop Manual is the only book you need to diagnose the electronic level control on your 6×2 B. 35 pages, straight from Scania CV AB, 1995. No rewritten third-party garbage.

Pages 9-22 cover all 62 fault codes stored by the ELC control unit. The manual explains how to enter diagnostic mode using the test button and then interpret the flashing code sequence. I’ve used this method on a 1995 Scania 6×2 B that had intermittent ride height issues – turned out to be fault code 37, a break in the left level sensor circuit. Without the factory code list, I’d have wasted hours swapping parts. Each code is listed with a brief description, but the manual also includes system fault diagnosis flowcharts on page 5 and 6 to guide you step by step.

Fault Codes 01-62: Reading Flashing Codes

The control unit stores fault codes as long and short flashes. Page 7 shows you how to read them without a scan tool – just the diagnostic lamp. You’ll find codes for short circuits, breaks, and incorrect control function. I’ve tracked down a bad level sensor in under 20 minutes using this method.

Input Signals – Level Sensors and Pressure Monitors

The system uses two level sensors and pressure monitors. Page 24 details the level sensor specs and page 25 shows fitting procedure. The wiring pinout is there. If you need torque specs for other areas, check the Scania 16-litre 2002 Workshop Manual – Factory Specs for engine bolt specs.

Changing Control Unit – Configuring and Calibration

Page 27 is critical. If you swap the ELC control unit (Scania part No. 1 374 465), you must configure it for the truck’s configuration and calibrate the ride height. The manual walks you through each step – no guesswork. I’ve seen guys skip the calibration and then wonder why the chassis leans. Follow the procedure exactly.

Compressed Air Components and Skeleton Diagrams

Pages 30-31 cover the air bellows, solenoid valves, and plumbing. The skeleton diagram on page 31 shows air line routing. If you’re tearing down an air system, take a photo of the diagram. It saves hours compared to tracing lines under the truck. For auxiliary systems like the Scania D1LC & D1LCC Auxiliary Heater 2000 Workshop Manual and Scania Opticruise 1995 Workshop Manual, you’ll want those for other subsystems.

Safety: Jack Stands Under Air Suspension

Page 3 has a warning I want every tech to read: “Always use stands when working under vehicles with air suspension.” The frame drops if an air bellows punctures or a line disconnects. I’ve had a truck nearly crush a guy who trusted the air bags. Do not skip this.

Wiring Diagrams – Component Information

Pages 32-35 are the wiring diagrams. These are factory drawings, not aftermarket recreations. Pin colors, connector views, ground points – all accurate. Compare this to the Manual Transmission wiring which is a different system entirely. The ELC wiring is essential for diagnosing power and signal issues.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This Manual?

If you own a Scania 6×2 B truck from 1995 and your air suspension is acting up, this manual is for you. DIY owners can handle the fault code reading and sensor checks. Professional shops should have it on the shelf for when the electronic level control acts up. Don’t rely on generic chassis manuals – they don’t have the ELC diagnostic flow.

Source Authenticity – Why OEM Matters

This is a genuine Scania workshop manual, issued in 1995, original 35 pages. It’s not a reprint of a reprint. The wiring diagrams and component info are verified by the manufacturer. Aftermarket manuals often redraw the schematics and introduce errors. I’ve seen mislabeled pins cause shorts. Stick with factory documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this manual cover the entire truck?

No. It covers only the Electronic Level Control (ELC) system for the 6×2 B. Engine, transmission, brakes are separate.

How do I read the fault codes without a scan tool?

The manual describes using the diagnostic lamp on the control unit. Turn ignition on, press the test button – the lamp flashes the code. Page 7 explains the sequence. Each code consists of long and short flashes. For example, code 21 is two long, one short. The manual lists all 62 codes with descriptions from pages 9 to 22. This method works even if the truck won’t start, as long as the control unit has power.

Can I use this on a Scania 6×2 A model?

The manual explicitly says it covers the 6×2 B with ELC control unit part No. 1 374 465. Earlier models may have different sensors and wiring.

What torque values are listed in this manual?

None. This manual focuses on diagnostics and component replacement. For torque specs, see the vehicle’s general workshop manual or the Manual Transmission manual for driveline fasteners.
