SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2.2 Trailer Grounding and Protection from Electrostatic Discharge


2.2.1 Note During Servicing the Trailer
Prevent potential resistance differences in grounding between components (such as axles) and the vehicle
frame (chassis).
Make sure that the resistance between metallic parts of the components connected to the trailer frame is
less than 10 Ohm (< 10 ).
Connect moving or insulated vehicle parts (such as axles) in a electrically conductive manner with the
frame.
Ensure a secure and adequate chassis ground at the J560 seven way connector ground pin on the trailer.
Use electrically conductive bolted connections when fastening the ECUs to the trailer frame.

2.2.2 Welding Work on the Trailer


Disconnect power to the trailer.
Disconnect all cable connections to devices and components and protect the plug-ins and connections from
contamination and humidity.
Always connect the grounding electrode directly with the metal next to the welding position when welding,
to prevent magnetic fields and current flow via the cable or components.
Make sure that grounding connections are robust by removing paint or rust at the connection points.
Prevent heat influences from the welding activity on devices and cabling when welding.

2.2.3 Note During Electrostatic Painting the Trailer Frame or Bogie


Disconnect all cable connections to devices and components and protect the plug-ins and connections from
contamination and humidity.

2.3 Vehicle Electrical Grounding Guidelines


Ensure that the vehicle includes a correct common chassis ground point. A common chassis ground point
connects the trailer frame/chassis to the ground pin of the J560 seven-way connector and will protect the
vehicle electrical system from unwanted electrical noise.
Common chassis ground can be verified by measuring the resistance between the J560 ground pin and the
vehicle chassis (or frame) and confirming that the resistance is less than 10 ohm (< 10 ). If this is not the
case, the electrical contact at the common chassis ground point is not sufficient or not present. If a common
chassis ground point is present, but not sufficient, ensure that there is no paint or debris inhibiting electrical
contact at the ground point. If a common chassis ground point is not present, WABCO requires adding one.
Consult your trailer manufacturer (OEM) for further instructions on how to perform this task. This ensures
that the trailer OE warranty is not voided.
NOTE: Do not add more than one common chassis ground point (connecting the J560 ground pin to the
chassis) to avoid potential ground shifts within the vehicle electrical system.
Additionally, all standard trailer components, such as axles, should also be electrically connected to the
common chassis ground. If the axles are not correctly grounded to the chassis, a ground strap electrically
connecting the axle to the chassis must be added to ensure adequate protection from unwanted electrical
noise. This can be verified by measuring the maximum resistance between the vehicle chassis/frame and
the other trailer component, then confirming that the resistance is less than 10 ohm (< 10 ).
For more details concerning correct vehicle grounding, reference SAE standard J1908.

3.3 What Is WABCO’s Enhanced Easy-Stop Trailer ABS?


WABCO’s Enhanced Trailer ABS is an electronic, self-monitoring system that works with standard air
brakes. In addition, Enhanced Easy-Stop includes Power Line Carrier (PLC) capability. PLC information is
included in the ABS Q & A Section of this manual. The major components of the system are the Electronic
Control Unit (ECU)/Valve Assembly, ABS modulator valve (for 3M systems), tooth wheel and wheel
speed sensor. Figure 3.2.
Fig. 3.2

3.4 System Configuration


The ABS configuration defines the number of wheel speed sensors and ABS modulator valves used in a
system. For example, a 2S/1M configuration includes two wheel sensors and one ABS modulator valve.
A 2S/2M configuration includes two wheel sensors and two ABS modulator valves. A 4S/2M configuration
includes four wheel sensors and two ABS modulator valves.
There is a specific ECU/valve assembly for each configuration:
„„ For 2S/1M Basic, the assembly consists of an ECU and a single modulator valve assembly
„„ For 2S/2M Standard and 4S/2M, the assembly consists of an ECU and a dual modulator valve
assembly (one valve that combines the function of two modulator valves). The 2S/2M Standard valve
has only two sensor outlets and cannot be upgraded.
„„ A 4S/3M premium configuration consists of an ECU/dual modulator valve assembly and one external
ABS modulator valve.

INTRODUCTION

3.5 How Trailer ABS Works


WABCO ABS is an electronic system that monitors and controls wheel speed during braking. The system
works with standard air brake systems.
ABS monitors wheel speeds at all times and controls braking during wheel lock situations. The system
improves vehicle stability and control by reducing wheel lock during braking.
The ECU receives and processes signals from the wheel speed sensors. When the ECU detects a wheel
lockup, the unit activates the appropriate modulator valve, and air pressure is controlled.
In the event of a malfunction in the system, the ABS in the affected wheel(s) is disabled; that wheel still has
normal brakes. The other wheels keep the ABS function.
Two ABS indicator lamps (one on the dash and one on the side of the trailer) let drivers know the status of
the system.

ABS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

4 ABS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


This section contains ABS questions and answers.

4.1 The ECU


How do you activate the ECU?
In a constant-powered system, the ECU activates and then begins a self-diagnostic check of the system
when you turn the ignition ON. In a stoplight-powered system, the ECU activates when you apply the
brakes. All trailers manufactured on or after March 1, 1998 will be equipped with ABS that has constant
power capability with stoplight power as back-up.
How does the ECU respond to a wheel approaching lock-up?
The ECU directs the ABS relay valve to function as a modulator valve and adjust air pressure to the
chambers up to five times a second. This pressure adjustment allows a wheel (or wheels) to rotate without
locking.

4.2 Power Line Carrier (PLC)


What is PLC communications?
PLC stands for Power Line Carrier, which is a method used to communicate information by multiplexing
data on the same wire used for the ABS electrical power. PLC communications convert signal message
data to a radio frequency (RF) signal on top of the +12V power line providing electrical power to the trailer.
What is multiplexing?
Multiplexing means communicating multiple signals or messages on the same transmission media. This
provides an efficient and cost effective means by decreasing the number of wires and connectors which
otherwise would be needed. Without multiplexing, it could take several wires and connections in order to
transmit several different signals to various locations on a vehicle, but with multiplexing these wires and
connectors can be significantly reduced.
Why add PLC technology to tractor and trailer ABS?
By adding PLC technology to the tractor and trailer ABS the industry is able to have the most cost effective
means to meet the March 1, 2001 FMVSS-121 in-cab trailer indicator lamp mandate with no additional
external hardware, harnesses or connectors. Additionally, this capability of communicating other information
between tractor and trailers provides many more opportunities to further improve productivity and safety.
How does it work?
The trailer ABS with PLC takes message information to be sent to the tractor and converts it to an RF
signal. The signal is then sent over the trailer ABS power line (blue wire) and the tractor ABS with PLC
receives the signal. Messages can also be sent from the tractor to the trailer via PLC.
What if a tractor is equipped with PLC technology and the trailer is not, or viceversa? Can you drive
the combination safely in that situation?
Absolutely. If the tractor is equipped with PLC and the trailer is not, or vice-versa, your ABS in-cab trailer
indicator lamp will not illuminate, but your ABS will continue to function as normal. To ensure that the trailer
ABS is functioning correctly, the trailer ABS indicator lamp mounted on the trailer should be utilized.

MM0180book.indb 19 6/25/2019 7:51:25 PM


ABS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What if a tractor has one manufacturer’s ABS with PLC and the trailer has another manufacturer’s
ABS with PLC? Will the two systems be compatible and operate the trailer ABS lamp as expected?
Yes. ABS with PLC from different manufacturers are designed to be compatible by controlling the trailer
ABS lamp according to the FMVSS-121 standard, even when systems from different manufacturers are
connected to each other. However, certain features beyond the control of the trailer ABS indicator lamp may
or may not be supported by all devices communicating via PLC. SAE task forces continue to standardize
common messages so that maximum compatibility may exist in the future.
How do I diagnose PLC?
PLC can be diagnosed over the J1587/J1708 diagnostic connector on the tractor and trailer using tools
designed for PLC diagnostics.
Can I use blink code diagnostics on Enhanced Easy-Stop to diagnose PLC?
Yes. Section 5 of this manual describes the method of performing a blink code check using Constant Power
(ignition activation). Blink Code 17 indicates a PLC failure.
If PLC does not seem to be operating correctly, but I don’t get a Blink Code 17 when I run a blink
code check, what else could be wrong?
If there is no Blink Code 17, the ECU is functioning correctly and does not need to be replaced; however,
there could be a problem in the trailer’s wiring harness. Check the wiring system and make the necessary
repairs. If the problem persists, contact WABCO North America Customer Care at
855-228-3203.

4.3 ABS Indicator Lamps


NOTE: When replacing the bulb, to ensure correct lamp operation use an incandescent type DOT-approved
lamp, or a LED with integral load resistor.

4.3.1 ABS Indicator Lamp (on Dash)


With Enhanced Easy-Stop there are two ABS indicator lamps; one on the vehicle dash and one on the side
of the trailer. Refer to Appendix I for information about the operation of this lamp.

4.3.2 ABS Indicator Lamp (on Trailer)


What is the function of the ABS indicator lamp?
The indicator lamp enables a driver to monitor the ABS at all times. Refer to the OEM operating manual for
the mounting location of the indicator lamp.
How does the indicator lamp operate?
How the indicator lamp operates depends on whether the ABS is powered by stoplight or constant power:
„„ If the trailer was manufactured prior to February 28, 1998, or was manufactured outside of the United
States, the ABS may be either stoplight or constant powered.
„„ If the trailer was manufactured March 1, 1998 or later — and was manufactured in the United States
— it will have constant power capability. This is mandated by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 121.
Check your vehicle specification sheet to determine the type of ABS power. Table B in this section illustrate
indicator lamp operation on stoplight and constant powered ABS systems.

ABS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

An ECU with part number 472 500 001 0 manufactured prior to September 1997 requires all sensed wheels
to detect a 4 mph signal to shut off the ABS indicator lamp. Do not confuse this with a faulty ABS system. If
the indicator lamp stays on when the brakes are applied to a moving vehicle, service the ABS system.
Most trailers manufactured prior to February 1998 require that the brakes be applied to operate the ABS
indicator lamp. If the indicator lamp stays on when the brakes are applied to a moving vehicle, service the
ABS system.
What does the trailer ABS indicator lamp mean to service personnel?
The trailer ABS indicator lamp on the side of the trailer indicates the status of the trailer ABS. If it comes ON
and stays ON when you apply the brakes to a moving vehicle, there is an ABS malfunction. It is normal for
the lamp to come ON and go OFF to perform a bulb check, but it should not stay ON when the vehicle is
moving above 4 mph. As with any safety system, it is important not to ignore this indicator. If the indicator
lamp indicates a malfunction, the vehicle can be operated to complete the trip, but it is important to have
it serviced as soon as possible using the appropriate maintenance manual to ensure correct braking
performance and that the benefits of ABS remain available to your drivers. Typical ABS indicator lamp
mounting locations are illustrated in Figure 4.1.
Fig. 4.1

Typical ABS Indicator Lamp Mounting Location on Side of Trailer


For service information, contact WABCO North America Customer Care at 855-228-3203.
Can you continue to operate a vehicle when the indicator lamp indicates a fault?
Yes. When a fault exists in the ABS, standard braking returns to the affected wheel, and the ABS still
controls other monitored wheels. This lets you complete the trip. You should not ignore the indicator lamp
and should have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible after the lamp comes ON and stays ON.

ABS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

TABLE B: STOPLIGHT POWER


NOTE: Stoplight power is designed to be for backup only for the ABS, so if the light is not functioning per
the Constant Power table, the power and ground should be checked on the system.

4.4 Types of Faults


What is a fault in the system?
A fault in the system is a problem that can exist in the ABS or in the system’s components. Faults can be
either existing faults or intermittent stored faults.
What is an existing fault?
An existing fault is a problem that exists currently in the system. For example, a damaged sensor cable is
an existing fault that the ECU will detect and store into memory until you identify the cause, repair the cable
and clear the fault from the ECU.
What is an intermittent fault?
An intermittent fault is a problem that usuallyoccurs only under certain driving conditions. For example, the
ECU may detect a loose cable or wire or receive an erratic signal from a wheel sensor. Since intermittent
faults can be unpredictable and may only happen periodically, you can use information stored in ECU
memory to find and correct the loose cable or wire. An intermittent fault cannot be retrieved using blink
codes.
Is an intermittent fault difficult to locate and repair?
It can be, because you may not be able to easily find the cause of the problem. WABCO recommends that
you write down intermittent faults to help you isolate a fault that recurs over a period of time.
Can the ECU store more than one fault in memory?
Yes. The ECU retains existing and intermittent faults in memory even when you turn OFF the power to the
ECU.
What if the ECU finds a fault in an ABS component during normal operation?
If the ECU senses a fault in the system (with an ABS valve, for example), the ECU turns the trailer ABS
indicator lamp on and returns the wheel controlled by that valve to standard braking. Or, if the ECU finds
a fault with one wheel speed sensor in a system that has four sensors on a tandem axle, the ECU uses
information from the other sensor on the same side of the tandem to ensure continuous ABS function. The
ECU continues to provide full ABS function to the wheels unaffected by system faults. However, the ECU
will turn the trailer ABS indicator lamp on to tell the driver a fault has been detected in the system.

ABS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

4.5 Frequently Asked Questions


What is the crack pressure of the ABS valve?
The pressure at which the ABS valve opens to allow air pressure to the wheel ends is 3 to 4 psi on the
signal port of the valve.
What can cause the trailer to bounce up and down when the service brakes are applied?
It is possible the ABS is getting signal from the sensor and tone ring that it is going into an ABS event. If
the issue is more noticeable when the trailer is unloaded, it is possible the trailer has worn suspension
components that can cause the ABS to react and go into an ABS event. Review with the trailer suspension
manufacturer.
Why are my brake lights on dimly any time the trailer is powered up?
If the vehicle is equipped with LED brake lights and there is no resistor in the circuit, you will get unwanted
illumination of the lights all the time. The 12v LED or circuit must have a resistor installed to prevent them
from illuminating all the time.

DIAGNOSTICS

6.3 Initial Power-up Check


Whenever the trailer is initially powered up, the ABS light should come on for three seconds and the
valves should click during self-tests. If the ABS light comes on again during the same ignition cycle, it
would indicate an issue. If the valves do not click during the self-test, power and ground checks need to be
performed at the ECU power connector. Also in this case, ensure all sensor cables are seated correctly at
the ECU.

6.4 Power and Ground Checks


If the valve is not self-testing (no clicking from the valve), perform the following power and ground checks at
the ABS ECU power connector shown in Figure 6.11.
1. Check the power cable connector at the ECUvand verify that the lock tab is there and the connector is
secure.
2. Disconnect the cable from the ECU and checkvfor any signs of moisture, corrosion, spread or
damaged pins.
3. Check with the power on voltage from pin 3 (constant power) to chassis ground for 9 to 14 volts.
„„ If power shows between 9 to 14 volts, go to step 4.
„„ If power is less or more than 9 to 14 volts, check the wiring for damage and review with the OEM.
4. With power on, check voltage from pin 2 (stop light power) to chassis ground with the brake pedal
depressed to chassis ground for 9 to 14 volts.
„„ If power shows between 9 to 14 volts, go to step 5.
„„ If power is less or more than 9 to 14 volts, check wiring for damage and review with the OEM.
5. With power off, check the resistance from pin 4 on the ECU power connector to chassis ground for
less than 10 ohm.
„„ If the resistance is less than 10 ohm, go to step 6.
„„ If the resistance is higher than 10 ohm, check wiring for damage and review with the OEM.
6. With the power on, check constant power circuit. Perform a load lamp test across pins 3 to 4 and
verify a bright light.
„„ If the light is bright, go to step 8.
„„ If the light does not light up brightly, diagnose and review the wiring with the OEM.
7. With the power on, check the stoplight circuit. Perform a load lamp test across pins 2 to 4 with the
brakes applied and verify a bright light.
„„ If the light is bright, go to step 8.
„„ If the light does not light up brightly, diagnose and review the wiring with the OEM.
8. If no problems are found with the harness checks may indicate the ECU/valve assembly has failed.

DIAGNOSTICS

6.5 Blink Code Diagnostics


The WABCO Enhanced Easy-Stop Trailer ABS ECU detects any electrical fault in the trailer ABS. Each of
the faults has a code. When a fault occurs, the ECU stores the code for that fault in the memory.
There are two kinds of faults: active and stored. Active faults are those currently existing in the system,
such as a broken wire. Stored faults are faults that have occurred but do not presently exist. Active faults
can be cleared only after repairs are completed. Stored faults can only be diagnosed with TOOLBOX™
Software or the Pro-Link 9000.
The ECU signals a malfunction by lighting both the internal and external indicator lamp when a fault exists.
The external ABS indicator lamp is usually mounted on the left rear of the trailer, near the rear wheels.
There are two ways to obtain blink codes:
„„ Ignition Power Activation (recommended method)
„„ Diagnostic Tool
NOTE: In previous versions of Easy-Stop, the blink code tool and the ABS indicator lamp would flash the
blink code at the same time. With Enhanced Easy-Stop, this does not happen. The codes are displayed
one blink at a time, first on the trailer ABS lamp, then on the blink code tool, as illustrated in Figure 6.11.
Fig. 6.11

BLINK CODE 4, SENSOR YE1

Lamp

Tool

4003670a

Although the ECU can store multiple faults in its memory, it only displays one fault at a time. This is why it is
important to recheck the blink codes after repairing a fault. If there are additional codes in the memory, they
only blink after you have repaired the first fault.
Stored faults, clear all and end of line test modes are available with the TOOLBOX™ Software or the Pro-
Link 9000.

6.5.1 Ignition Power Activation


Ignition Power Activation is the process of using the vehicle’s ignition switch (or interrupting the power on
the blue wire by some other means) to display blink codes on the trailer ABS indicator lamp located on the
side of the trailer. This method is for constant power vehicles only.
To obtain blink codes using ignition power activation, perform the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch on for no longer than 5 seconds. The ABS indicator lamp will be on.
2. Turn the ignition switch off. The ABS indicator lamp will go out.
3. Turn the ignition switch on. The ABS indicator lamp will then come on, then go out.
4. The blink code will be displayed three times by the ABS indicator lamp on the trailer.
NOTE: For ignition power activation, power is provided by the ignition switch.

DIAGNOSTICS

6.5.2 Diagnostic Tool (Blink Code Check)


The red dust cap on the diagnostic tool protects the tool during shipping. The tool and the LED are
independently sealed against contamination.
The SAE J1587 connector must be protected from contamination when the diagnostic tool is not installed.
Reinstall the gray cap when the connector is not in use.
Use the following procedures to install the diagnostic tool in the SAE J1587 connector.
1. Remove the gray protective cap from the J1587 connector.
•• Turn the cap counterclockwise.
•• Pull off the cap.
2. Align the notches on the tool with the notches on the connector.
3. Insert the tool firmly in the connector.
4. Firmly turn the gray ring of the tool clockwise to secure it in place. Figure 6.12.
Fig. 6.12

4003671a

5. After removing the diagnostic tool, replace the gray protective cap.
6. Make sure the vehicle is stationary:
„„ Emergency brake ON
„„ Wheels correctly chocked
7. Provide 12 volts DC power (9.5 to 14 volts is acceptable range) to the ECU/Valve Assembly.
8. Check the ABS indicator lamp on the trailer. If:
„„ The indicator lamp comes ON briefly, then goes OFF: There is no fault in system.
„„ The indicator lamp comes ON and stays ON: There is an existing fault. Go to Step 9.
9. Press the blink code switch once for one second and release the switch.
10. When there is an existing fault: The ABS indicator lamp will flash between three and eighteen times to
identify the existing fault.
11. When there are existing faults: You must repair existing faults.
12. After you identify an existing fault, turn the power to the ECU OFF. Repair the fault. Turn the power to
the ECU back ON.
13. Repeat Step 9. If there are no other existing faults in the system, the ABS indicator lamp will come
ON, go OFF and remain OFF.
14. If you have just repaired a sensor gap fault, the ECU is “waiting” to see a 4-mph signal on sensed
wheels. Until this 4 mph is sensed by the ECU, the ABS indicator lamp on the trailer will remain ON.

Hazard Alert Messages
Read and observe all Warning and Caution hazard alert messages in this publication. They provide
information that can help prevent serious personal injury, damage to components, or both.

WARNING To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection when you
perform vehicle maintenance or service.

WARNING Park the vehicle on a level surface. Block the wheels to prevent the
vehicle from moving. Support the vehicle with safety stands. Do not work
under a vehicle supported only by jacks. Jacks can slip and fall over.
Serious personal injury can result.

WARNING The ABS is an electrical system. When you work on the ABS, take the
same precautions that you must take with any electrical system to avoid
serious personal injury. As with any electrical system, the danger of elec-
trical shock or sparks exists that can ignite flammable substances. You
must always disconnect the battery ground cable before working on the
electrical system.

NOTE: Disconnect power from the ECU/Valve Assembly before you remove any components. Failure to
disconnect power from the ECU can cause faults to be recorded and stored in ECU memory.

CAUTION When welding on an ABS-equipped vehicle is necessary, disconnect the


power connector from the ECU to avoid damage to the electrical system
and ABS components.

CAUTION High voltages can damage the electronic control unit (ECU). Disconnect
all connectors from the ECU before you perform any welding,
electrostatic painting, or any other activity that applies high voltage to the
vehicle frame. Install blind plugs into the ECU to protect the connector
openings. Ground the welding or painting equipment to the part you are
working on. If you are working on a moving or insulated component such
as an axle, make sure it is correctly grounded through the frame. Refer
to the equipment manufacturer’s recommended instructions for correct
procedures.

7.1 Wheel Speed Sensor

7.1.1 How to Remove a Sensor


1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions to back off the slack adjuster and remove the tire,
wheel and drum.
2. Hold the sensor, not the cable, and use a twisting motion to pull the sensor out of its mounting block.
3. Remove the spring clip from the mounting block.
4. Remove any fasteners that hold the sensor cable to other components.
5. Disconnect the sensor cable from the extension cable.

7.1.2 How to Install a Sensor


Sensor locations vary according to suspension types. Typically, a spring suspension has sensors on the
forward axle, and an air suspension has sensors on the rear axle.
1. Apply a mineral oil-based grease that contains molydisulfide to the sensor spring clip and to the
body of the sensor. The grease must be anti-corrosive and contain adhesive properties that will
continuously endure temperatures from –40° to 300°F (–40° to 150°C).
2. Push the spring clip into the sensor holder from the inboard side, until the spring clip tabs are against
the sensor holder. Push the sensor into the spring clip as far as possible. Figure 7.1.

3. Route the sensor cable toward the brake chamber, over the brake spider, and behind the axle. Secure
the cable to the axle between the brake spider and the suspension brackets. Continue to route the
sensor cable behind the spring seats. Secure the cable to the axle 3 inches from the molded sensor
plug. Figure 7.2.

4. Install the wheel hub carefully, so that the sensor pushes against the tooth wheel as you adjust the
wheel bearings. After installation there should be no gap between the sensor and the tooth wheel.
During normal operation a gap of 0.040-inch is allowable.
5. Sensor Output Voltage Test: Use a volt/ohm meter to check the AC output voltage of the sensors
while rotating the wheel at approximately one-half revolution per second. Minimum output must be
greater than 0.2 volts AC. If minimum output is less than 0.2 volts AC, push the sensor toward the
tooth wheel. Recheck the sensor output.

8.1 How to Test Wheel Speed Sensors


NOTE: At initial installation, no gap must exist between the sensor and the tooth wheel.
NOTE: After you install a hub, always check that the sensor is adjusted correctly.
Operating the trailer can cause a gap to develop between the sensor and the tooth wheel. If the gap
exceeds 0.040-inch, the system may not function correctly.
To adjust the sensor, twist and push the sensor through the sensor bracket as far as possible or until the
sensor touches the tooth wheel.

8.1.1 Sensor Test Procedure


1. Disconnect power to the ECU/Valve Assembly.
2. Disconnect the sensor electrical connector from the ECU/Valve Assembly.
3. Connect the volt/ohm meter leads to the two wire component terminals inside the disconnected
connector.
4. When checking the resistance, the meter must read 900-2000 ohms.
5. Check and replace the sensor and cables as required.
6. Repeat Steps 1-5 for each sensor in the system.

8.1.2 Sensor Output Voltage Test


1. Disconnect power from the ECU/Valve Assembly.
2. Connect the AC volt/ohm meter leads to the sensor terminals inside the connector.
3. Rotate the corresponding wheel at a constant speed of one-half revolution per second.
4. The output voltage must be greater than 0.2 volts AC.
5. When there is no reading:
A. Trace the cable to verify that the cable connects to the wheel you turned.
B. Check that you turned the correct wheel.
C. Check that the system is wired correctly.
D. Check that the sensor touches the tooth wheel.
6. If the volt/ohm meter still indicates no reading or a low reading after following the above procedures,
check and replace the component and cables as required.
7. Repeat Steps 1-5 for each sensor in the system.

8.2 Check ABS Functions

„„ Red: The external relay valve designated RED (RD) is an axle control valve. It controls brake
chambers on one or two axles. It is important that delivery lines from port #2 are plumbed as
shown on the installation drawings. (Refer to Figs. 5.8, 5.9 and 5.10.) The 4S/3M system is
designed to be used with a variety of trailer configurations. Call WABCO North America Customer
Care at 855-228-3203 for additional information.
4. If air lines are not correctly routed, make the necessary repairs.

8.6.4 Perform End of Line Test (Standard and Premium Installations)


1. Apply 12 volts DC power to the ABS.
2. The ECU/dual modulator valve assembly should click four times (six times for a 4S/3M).
3. If the indicator lamp comes on for three seconds then goes out, this indicates a correct installation.
The end of line test is complete.

If the ABS indicator lamp comes on and stays on, check the sensor installation:
A. Remove the power from the ABS and raise the sensed wheels so they may be rotated.
B. Apply emergency air to fill the air tanks and release the spring brakes so that the wheels may be
rotated.
C. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2.
D. Rotate each sensed wheel — one at a time — at a rate of less than 25 rpm. The ABS indicator
lamp should now go out and stay out indicating a correct installation.
The end of line test is complete.
4. If the ABS lamp does not go out, there is a sensor gap problem or hardware fault. Adjust the sensor
and, if necessary, perform a fault code check.

8.6.4.1 Sensor Gap Adjustment (All Installations)


Push sensor into its holder until it contacts the tooth wheel. At installation, there must be no gap between
the sensor and the tooth wheel.
Measure the AC voltage output. Value should be 0.2 volt AC when wheel is rotated at a rate of 1/2
revolution per second.

9.1 Lift Axle Troubleshooting


ECUs 400 500 105 0 and 400 500 106 0 are the only trailer ABS valves that have automatic lift axle
functionality.
The first step taken when troubleshooting the Lift Axle system is to ensure that the system is pneumatically
plumbed and electrically connected correctly. Refer to Figures 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, 9.15 and 9.16 in this
section for the correct schematic, depending upon the configuration
For additional information, refer to TP-08103, Lift Axle Installation Manual, available at wabco-auto.com.
When testing the Lift Axle system, ensure the trailer is supplied with a minimum of 100 psi air pressure to
the supply air and 12 volts DC power rated at a minimum of 10 amps to the trailer‘s constant power circuit.
Use of a volt-ohm meter may be required. A lift axle test rig may be built by the maintenance shop to
facilitate the testing of the lift axle system. See Figure 9.12.
The ability to raise the trailer‘s fixed axles in order to conduct an end of line test may be required.
TIO files enable additional functionality, such as automatic lift axle, for the InfoLink capable ECUs. If a TIO
file needs to be removed or replaced, contact WABCO North America Customer Care at
855-228-3203.
This troubleshooting section is based on the use of TOOLBOX™ Software version 11.5.1 or higher. If you
have an earlier version of software, visit wabco.snapon.com or contact your Snap-On dealer.

9.2 Tag Axle Troubleshooting


ECUs 400 500 105 0 and 400 500 106 0 are the only trailer ABS valves that have Tag Axle functionality.
A tractor with a Tag Axle activation switch installed is required.
The first step taken when troubleshooting the Tag Axle system is to ensure that the system is pneumatically
plumbed and electrically connected correctly. Refer to Figures 9.18, 9.19 and 9.24 in this section for the
correct schematic, depending upon the configuration.
For additional information, refer to installation manual TP-0886, Tag Axle Option Installation, available at
wabco-auto.com.
When testing the Tag Axle system, ensure the trailer is supplied with 100-120 psi air pressure to the supply
air and 12 volts DC power rated at a minimum of 10 amps to the trailer‘s constant power circuit.
Use of a volt-ohm meter may be required.
TIO files enable additional functionality, such as Tag Axle, for the InfoLink capable ECUs. If a TIO file needs
to be removed or replaced, contact WABCO North America Customer Care at 855-228-3203.
This troubleshooting section is based on the use of TOOLBOX™ Software version 11.5.1 or higher. If you
have an earlier version of software, visit wabco.snapon.com or contact your Snap-On dealer.

The first step taken when troubleshooting the RAADS is to ensure that the system has its electrical
components connected correctly. Refer to Figure 9.26 for the system diagram and the system wiring 2S/1M
and 4S/2M RAADS ECU cables.
For additional information, refer to technical publication TP-16107, RAADS Installation Manual, available at
wabco-auto.com. Also reference the TrailerTail™ Maintenance Manual ATD003047 at stemco.com.
When testing the system, ensure that 12-volts of DC power rated at a minimum of 10 amps is supplied to
the trailer’s constant power circuit.
Use of a volt-ohm meter may be required.
This troubleshooting section is based on the use of TOOLBOX™ Software version 12.2 or higher. If you
have an earlier version of the software, visit wabco.snapon.com or contact your Snap-On dealer.

10.1 TraiIer ABS Indicator Lamp on Vehicle Dash


The trailer ABS indicator lamp on vehicle dash applies to Trailer ABS only. The lamp is controlled by a
signal to the tractor ECU, which is sent over the power line (PLC function). When a trailer ABS fault is
detected, an ON message is sent. When no fault is detected, the ECU receives an OFF message
Table C illustrates trailer ABS lamp operation at power-up or ignition on. Table D depicts lamp responses
that occur during operation.
Lamp turn ON and OFF messages do not turn the lamp ON or OFF instantly. The delay between the receipt
of the message and the lamp response time is intentional, because it prevents erratic lamp activity.
NOTE: For doubles or triples, the lamp does not distinguish between trailers. A system fault in any of the
trailers will activate the trailer ABS indicator lamp.

11.1 Cable Routing Guidelines


All wires should be tightly secured to a solid member in intervals not greater than 18-inches (457 mm) to
avoid excess cable vibration and potential snags with road debris. The correct cable installation should not
allow the cable to slide through beam clamps/zip ties, but not tight enough to pinch the internal wires. Refer
to technical bulletins TP-20212 and TP-1593 for more information. Figure 11.1.
Fig. 11.1

Wiring should NEVER go through any bare, unprotected metal holes. Use grommets, caulk or wire wrap to
protect wire from premature. Figure 11.2.

11.2 Cable Strain Relief Guidelines


It is important that cabling follows good strain relief practices to ensure maximum performance and
durability. Failure to provide adequate strain relief on the cables can result in future maintenance that is not
covered under warranty.

Strain relief is defined as a small amount of slack in the cable at the area of connection. This lack of cable
tension allows for slight movement of the cable during times when components of the suspension and air
system are in motion. A small amount of slack also eases access to other system components.
A taut cable can negatively affect the lifespan of the cable and attached component. Cables without
adequate strain relief can potentially stress a cable connection enough that moisture could intrude into the
cable connector. Internal wire stress at bend points can be the result of a cable under tension.
Cable strain relief is a universal practice. It applies to all WABCO product lines from Anti-Lock Brake (ABS)
systems to Roll Stability Systems (RSS).

11.2.1 Excess Cable Length


In cases where the length of cable exceeds what is required, the excess must be bundled in an efficient
manner.
„„ Cables should not be draped or wrapped around components or left unsecured.
„„ All slack remaining in the cable once the connections are made can be bundled in a Z-shaped loop.
Do not coil the cable into a circular bundle.
„„ The bend at the end of the bundled cable should be greater than or equal to ten times the diameter of
the cable.
„„ All cable fasteners should be tightened in a manner only to the extent that the cable is held sufficiently
in place. Over tightening can result in damage to the cable.
„„ Fasten the excess cable to an area that is free of sharp edges and moving components.
WABCO has many lengths of cables available so it is a best practice to obtain a length that suits the
requirements of the installation.

MM0180book.indb 137 6/25/2019 7:56:26 PM


APPENDIX II

11.2.2 Strain Relief at the ECU – Bracket Mounting


It is recommended that cable connections to a component, such as an ECU valve assembly, display a
visible amount of slack in the cable up to the first fastener, that secures the cable to trailer structure or air
line. This applies to both zip ties or cable clips. This first anchor point should be a minimum 6-inches and
a maximum 12-inches of cable length from the cable/component connection. This applies to all sensor,
power, valve and GIO cables. Regardless of whether zip ties or cable clips are used, cables should
be secured at intervals of a maximum of 18-inches to avoid cable vibration or excess cable that could
potentially snag with external objects. Figures 11.5 and 11.6.

11.2.3 Strain Relief at the ECU – Tank Mounting


It is necessary that cable connections to a component, such as an ECU valve assembly, display a visible
amount of slack in the cable up to the first tie or clip that secures the cable to trailer structure or air line.
This first anchor point should be a minimum 6-inches of cable length from the cable/component connection.
This applies to all sensor, power, valve and GIO cables. Regardless of whether zip ties or cable clips are
used, cables should be secured at intervals not greater than 18-inches to avoid cable vibration or excess
cable that could potentially snag with external objects.

Ideally, cables should be affixed to the rigid structure of the trailer. However, structure is not always
available on tank-mounted installations. In these cases, securing the cable may be accomplished by
fastening the cable to nearby air lines. Figures 11.7 and 11.8. It is important to note that cables should be
secured only to the extent that the cable is held sufficiently in place. Over tightening can damage the cable
or the air line.

11.2.4 Sensor Extension Cables at the ECU


On valves that are tank mounted or remote mounted with no trailer structure nearby, cables are attached
to the brake delivery air lines. Cable clips are preferred to zip ties. In order to avoid damage to the wires, it
is important that cables should be fastened in a manner where the cable is secured only to a point where
the cable will not move or chafe against what it is mounted to. A small amount of slack should be present to
ensure that the cables are not taut after installation or the servicing of components. Examples are shown
below in Figures 11.9 and 11.10.

11.2.5 Securing WABCO Cables to Air Lines


Routing of cables near the ECU assembly and attached to air lines requires careful consideration. Care
should be taken that cable fasteners are not over tightened on either the air line or the cable. The cables
should be anchored only tight enough to prevent movement of the cable without pinching the air line.
Selection of the optimum fitting also has an impact of strain relief. Ensure that cables are not pinched, bent
or wrapped around any fittings in the cable proximity.

11.2.6 Connection of Cables


It is important to ensure all cable-to-cable connections maintain correct strain relief. Cable restraints must
be placed between two- and fourinches from the cable connector to ensure correct strain relief. Regardless
of whether zip ties or cable clips are used, cables should be secured at intervals of a maximum of 18-inches
to avoid cable vibration. See Figures 11.11, 11.12 and 11.13.
