Suggested oscilloscope settings are (AC coupling, 1 volt/ div, 100 µsec/div). The signal should be measured on pin 7 of the J560 connector at the nose of the trailer.

PIGTAIL WIRING HARNESSes

Several pigtail wire harnesses are available to connect the TABS-6 module with ABS and other trailer system components. Pigtail harness are weather sealed at the connector interface and are clearly labeled for proper installation. Because of the over-molded design of the TABS‑6 module wiring harnesses, Bendix recommends that the complete harness be replaced if damage or corrosion occurs.

The following connector options may be present:

Modulator 2 (MOD2), Modulator 3 (MOD3), auxiliary, diagnostic, and additional axle wheel speed sensors.

Note: All TABS-6 modules include the two primary wheel speed sensor connections and therefore these are separate from the pigtail harness.

ECU Connectors

Standard TABS-6 module ECU connectors use a TTMA 97‑99 5‑pin Packard Weather Pack connector for brake light power, constant power, ground, the trailer-mounted ABS indicator lamp and a single auxiliary input/output (I/O).

Premium TABS-6 module ECU connectors use an 18-pin Deutsch DT series connector for the same function as above, plus additional modulators, wheel speed sensors and auxiliary I/O’s.
