Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically carries the communication signals between different parts of your EBS – things like the ABS modulator, the brake control unit, and sometimes even the trailer’s ABS if you’ve got a tractor – trailer setup. It’s not carrying the air pressure itself, it’s carrying the electrical info that tells the system how to apply the brakes. It handles data transmission – things like wheel speed, brake pedal position, and system status. Think of it like the nervous system for your air brakes. Without it, the brain (the control unit) can't talk to the muscles (the brakes). It allows all the components of the EBS to work together as a single, smart system. It connects everything, so the computer can monitor and control braking force to each wheel. These longer cables, 15 meters especially, usually run along the chassis, connecting the tractor unit to the trailer.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without a good connection here, things get messy quick. You'll notice if this cable is failing because you'll likely get EBS warning lights on your dash. Beyond that, it can cause erratic braking, longer stopping distances, or even a complete loss of EBS functionality. That's obviously a safety issue. The cable itself is shielded – it acts like a shield protecting the signal from interference from other electrical components on the vehicle. A damaged or corroded cable can lead to signal loss and system errors. We've got a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and honestly, it’s one of those things you don’t want to cheap out on. A reliable connection here is crucial for safe braking.
