Adv MC module provides three
M10,1.18in.(30mm.)studsforframemountingdirectly
to a trailer cross‑member. The TABS‑6 Adv MC module
usesthreeClass8steelM10x1.5nutswithlockwashers,
torquedto354±44.4in.-lbs(40±5Nm).Abracketmaybe
used if direct mounting to a cross‑member is not possible.
7. PIGTAIL WIRING HARNESSES
Several pigtail wire harnesses are available to connect
the TABS‑6 Adv MC module with other trailer system
components. See Figure 6. Pigtail harnesses are weather‑
sealed at the connector interface and are clearly labeled for
proper installation. Because of the over‑molded design of
the wiring harnesses, Bendix recommends that if damage
or corrosion occurs, the complete harness be replaced.
Wheel Speed Connectors
The TABS‑6 Adv MC module includes two primary and
two secondary wheel speed sensor connections separate
fromthemainvehiclepigtailharnesses,andeachrequires
a separate harness.
ECU Connectors
TheTABS-6AdvMCmoduleECUhastwoconnectors(in
addition to the wheel speed sensor connectors mentioned
above). The primary connector is a 7‑pin custom series
screw‑on type connector used to connect to the vehicle’s
power pigtail harness. The otherconnector is a 12-pin
DeutschDTseriesstyleconnector,usedforauxiliaryinputs
andoutputs(I/Os).
POWER AND GROUND
Trailer electrical power is supplied to the TABS‑6 Adv MC
module from the ignition and brake light circuits.
See Charts 1 and 2 for output values and pin locations.
