Steps for Diagnosing the Tractor PLC Network • Step 2 – Connect PLC/J1708 Adapter Inline with Power/Ground at the Tractor ABS ECU in “Trailer Mode” • The In-Cab Fault Light Should Cycle On/Off at a 5 Second Interval • If the in-cab fault light failed to cycle on/off, the ABS ECU is not responding to PLC messages or the in-cab ABS Fault Lamp is not working. Proceed to step 3. • If the in-cab fault light cycled on/off, there is a tractor wiring problem. Repair according to tractor repair manual. You are done. • Step 3 – Connect the PLC/J1708 Adapter to the In-Cab Diagnostics Connector and Run Tractor ABS Diagnostics. • You are done. S.12 Care and Use Requirements for PLC4TRUCKS

Diagnosing The Trailer PLC Network • Pre-Check – Confirm You are Using an Approved Power Supply*, You Have Sufficient Voltage to All Components and that the Trailer ABS Supports PLC4TRUCKS • Step 1 – Connect Power Supply to the PLC/J1708 Adapter in “Tractor Mode” and To the Trailer Nosebox • The PLC and J1708 LED’s Should Flash Indicating that the Trailer ABS has PLC4TRUCKS Capability and it is Functioning Normally. • If the LED’s flash and the “ABS Lamp” doesn’t light, you are done. • If the LED’s do not flash at all, proceed to step 2. • If the LED’s flash and the “ABS Lamp” LED lights, there is a Trailer ABS fault. Proceed to step 3. • *Consult Your Trailer ABS Manufacturer S.12 Care and Use Requirements for PLC4TRUCKS
Diagnosing The Trailer PLC Network • Step 2 – Connect Power Supply to Nosebox and Connect PLC/J1708 Adapter at the Trailer ABS ECU in “Tractor Mode” • If PLC and J1708 LED’s flash, there is a trailer wiring problem. Fix according to trailer repair manual. You are done. • If PLC and J1708 LED’s do not flash, the Trailer ABS ECU is not transmitting PLC Messages. Repair according to the trailer ABS Repair manual. You are done. • Step 3 – Time to Launch Trailer ABS PLC Diagnostics • Trailer ABS Units Supporting PLC Diagnostics • Diagnostics at the Nose Box • Diagnostics at the ECU Connector * Check with ABS manufacturer on which ECU’s support PLC diagnostics S.12 Care and Use Requirements for PLC4TRUCKS
