Description

This Wabco cable (MPN: 4496241130) is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for EBS (Electronically Controlled Braking Systems) applications and lift axle control valves. It provides the connection between the diagnosis socket and the X2 diagnosis port. This cable features a 7-pin diagnosis socket with a blue cap and a Kostal M27x1 2-pin connector on one end, and an X2 diagnosis 8-pin connector on the other. Its dimensions are 45 x 339 x 374 mm, and it features M27 x 1 port threads. This OE-specification cable ensures reliable communication and diagnostic capabilities for enhanced vehicle maintenance and performance.

Key Features & Benefits

These cables are basically the communication lines for your air brakes. They carry the electrical signals between the Electronic Control Unit – that’s the brain of the system – and the various components like the ABS modulator, the brake sensors at each wheel, and sometimes even the trailer ABS if you’re hauling something. They transmit data about wheel speed, brake pressure, and system status, telling everything what to do. Think of it like this – your air brakes are the muscles, but this cable is the nerves. It’s how the “brain” tells those muscles when and how hard to squeeze. It’s a key piece of the larger ABS and stability control system, ensuring everything works together smoothly and safely. It's usually found running along the frame rails, protected as much as possible, but still exposed to road grime and vibration.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These cables are critical for safety. If one fails, you’ll likely see an ABS light come on, and the system might revert to a basic braking mode, losing a lot of the advanced features like traction control and automatic brake adjustment. You’ll notice if one goes bad because your brakes won't respond as quickly or effectively, especially in slippery conditions. It acts like a shield against uncontrolled skids. If you're needing to replace one, it's best to do it sooner rather than later. We actually carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s a part you don’t want to skimp on – getting a quality replacement is really important for keeping your vehicle safe and reliable.
