COMPONENTS
Installations of the TABS-6 Module typically utilize the 
following components:
• Bendix
®
 WS-24
 wheel speed sensors (2 or 4, 
depending on confi guration).  Each sensor is installed 
with a Bendix Sensor Clamping Sleeve. See page 5.
• Bendix
®
 BR9235
 Pressure Modulator Valves (0, 1, or 
2 depending on confi guration).  See page 5.
•  Trailer-mounted ABS indicator lamp. See page 4.
•  Pigtail wiring harness(es) as needed. See page 3.
MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS
Tank (Nipple) Mount
The TABS-6 modules can be tank-mounted using a 
schedule 80 (heavy gauge steel) 3/4" NPT nipple directly 
between the trailer supply tank and the module's supply 
port.  A tank with a reinforced port must be used.
Frame (Chassis) Mount 
The TABS-6 module provides through-holes for frame 
mounting directly to the trailer frame rail or cross-member. 
It is recommended to use two Grade 5 3/8-16 bolts, typical 
length 5", torqued to 180-220 in-lbs.
POWER LINE CARRIER (PLC) 
COMMUNICATIONS 
Since March 1, 2001, all new towed vehicles transmit a 
signal over the power line to an in-cab trailer ABS Indicator 
Lamp.  The signal, using a heavy vehicle industry standard 
known as “PLC4Trucks,”  is typically broadcast by the 
trailer ABS ECU over the blue wire (power line) of the J560 
connector.  See Figures 2 and 3.  
TABS-6 modules support PLC communications in accord-
ance with SAE J2497.  
Identifying and Measuring the PLC Signal
A TABS-6 module will continuously broadcast PLC 
messages that indicate trailer ABS status.  At power-up or 
during a trailer ABS fault condition, the TABS-6 module will 
signal the tractor ABS unit to illuminate the dash-mounted 
trailer ABS indicator lamp.
Diagnostic tools are available that detect the presence 
of a PLC signal and perform further system diagnostics 
directly on the power line.  For more information on these 
diagnostic tools, contact Bendix or refer to your local 
authorized Bendix dealer or distributor.
An oscilloscope can also be used to verify the presence 
and strength of a PLC signal on the power line. The PLC 
signal is an amplitude and frequency modulated signal. 
Depending on the load on the power line, the amplitude 
of the PLC signal can range from 5.0 mV p-p to 7.0 V p-p.
SAFE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW 
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID 
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH:
When working on or around a vehicle, the following 
general precautions should be observed at all times:
1.  Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking 
brakes, and always block the wheels.  Always wear 
safety glasses.  
2.  Stop the engine and remove ignition key when 
working under or around the vehicle.  When working 
in the engine compartment, the engine should be 
shut off and the ignition key should be removed. 
Where circumstances require that the engine be in 
operation, EXTREME CAUTION should be used to 
prevent personal injury resulting from contact with 
moving, rotating, leaking, heated or electrically 
charged components.
3.  Do not attempt to install, remove, disassemble 
or assemble a component until you have read 
and thoroughly understand the recommended 
procedures.  Use only the proper tools and observe 
all precautions pertaining to use of those tools.
4.  If the work is being performed on the vehicle’s 
air brake system, or any auxiliary pressurized air 
systems, make certain to drain the air pressure from 
all reservoirs before beginning ANY work on the 
vehicle.  If the vehicle is equipped with a Bendix
® 
AD-IS
®
 air dryer system or a dryer reservoir module, 
be sure to drain the purge reservoir.
5.  Following the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended 
procedures, deactivate the electrical system in a 
manner that safely removes all electrical power from 
the vehicle.
6.  Never exceed manufacturer’s recommended 
pressures.  
7.  Never connect or disconnect a hose or line 
containing pressure; it may whip. Never remove a 
component or plug unless you are certain all system 
pressure has been depleted.
8.  Use only genuine Bendix
®
 brand replacement parts, 
components and kits. Replacement hardware, 
tubing, hose, fi ttings, etc. must be of equivalent 
size, type and strength as original equipment and 
be designed specifi cally for such applications and 
systems.
9.  Components with stripped threads or damaged 
parts should be replaced rather than repaired.  Do 
not attempt repairs requiring machining or welding 
unless specifically stated and approved by the 
vehicle and component manufacturer.
10.  Prior to returning the vehicle to service, make certain 
all components and systems are restored to their 
proper operating condition.
11.  For vehicles with Automatic Traction Control (ATC), 
the ATC function must be disabled (ATC indicator 
lamp should be ON) prior to performing any vehicle 
maintenance where one or more wheels on a drive 
axle are lifted off the ground and moving.
