Effective March 2001, a Federal Government mandate required that heavy-duty trucks have an in-cab trailer ABS warning lamp. Using a new SAE standard called PLC communication, the change requires trailer ABS ECU's to communicate with the tractor ECU via the J560 power line to activate the trailer warning lamp. NEXIQ's PLC Converter is for use with NEXIQ PLC test application (sold applications) for the Pro-Link Plus, PC or Heavy Duty Standard Suite for Palm OS application. When the converter is used with the PLC test application it provides the ability to:

  • Verify trailer ABS ECU for MID 10 and MID 11 messages.
  • Toggle in-cab trailer ABS warning lamp ON/OFF to confirm operation.
  • Test tractor and trailer coupled or trailer independently for MID messages.
  • Features:

  • Detects the ABS warning lamp message coming from trailer ECU.
  • Tests the in-dash trailer ABS warning lamp.
  • Supports all tractor/trailer ABS brake controllers equipped with the
    Power Line Communications (PLC) network.
  • Tests SAE MID 10 and 11 ABS messages.
  • Interfaces with the trailer via J560 cable set or standard Deutsch
    connection for communication to the trailer or tractor.
  • Utilizes SAE J2497 communication protocol.
