ABS INDICATOR LAMP
Trailer-mounted Lamp
The TABS-6 module controls an ABS indicator lamp to show 
the trailer ABS status.  With power supplied by the towing 
vehicle, the module illuminates the ABS indicator lamp by 
providing a 12.0 VDC signal.  (The other side of the lamp 
is grounded.)  The ABS indicator lamp output uses Pin D 
of the 5-pin Standard module connector, and Pin 5 of the 
18-pin Premium module connector.
Dash-mounted Lamp (PLC Controlled)
TABS-6 modules use SAE J2497 standards to support 
Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication.  The TABS-6 
module transmits a signal over the power line to the towing 
vehicle.  This information is used by towing vehicle’s 
ABS controller to know when to illuminate the trailer ABS 
indicator lamp mounted on the dash.  
The status of the trailer ABS is transmitted over the ignition  
power wire (blue wire of the J560 connector), Pin B of the 
5-pin Standard module connector, or Pin 6 of the 18-pin 
Premium module connector. 
Power/ABS Indicator Lamp Connector
The TABS-6 module pigtail uses a TTMA RP 97-99 5-pin 
Packard Weather Pack connector for brake light power, 
constant power, ground and the trailer-mounted ABS 
indicator lamp.
The Power/ABS indicator lamp lead of the pigtail harness 
is available in several lengths to satisfy most installation 
requirements (e.g. slider axles).
Wheel Speed Sensor Connectors
Two 2-pin connectors are provided for additional wheel 
speed sensors for 4S ABS applications. These 2-pin 
connectors are labeled Additional Sensor Left (SAL), and 
Additional Sensor Right (SAR).  Extension cables are 
available in various lengths from Bendix.
ABS Modulator Connectors
On Premium TABS-6 module pigtail harnesses, one or two 
modulator connectors are provided for trailers using two 
or three modulators. These 3-pin connectors are labeled 
MOD2 and MOD3.  (Note: MOD1 designates the internal 
modulator of the TABS-6 module).  Remote modulator 
harnesses are available in many lengths to satisfy most 
installation requirements.
Diagnostic Connector
Premium TABS-6 module pigtail harnesses provide a 4-pin 
diagnostic connection for a diagnostic tool to monitor ECU 
ignition power, ground and data information.  Remote 
diagnostic cables are available from Bendix to provide a 
standard J1708/J1587 diagnostic port at the side of the 
trailer.
Auxiliary I/O Connector
Standard TABS-6 module pigtails provide an option for 
a single auxiliary I/O.  An optional auxiliary connector 
provides a connection to the TABS-6 module auxiliary I/O 
ECU pins.  Premium ECU pigtails provides an option for 
up to six auxiliary I/O’s.
POWER AND GROUND
Trailer electrical power is supplied to the TABS-6 module 
from the ignition and brake light circuits.  See Charts 1 and 
2 for output values and pin locations.
