With a total length of 2.1 m, this component offers enhanced durability and a secure connection within the air brake assembly, contributing to overall system efficiency and safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This little part’s job is pretty specific. It’s basically an electrical connection point – a jumper – that allows the trailer’s anti – lock braking system, or ABS, to communicate with the tractor’s system. It takes the signal from the wheel speed sensors on the trailer axles and sends it up to the tractor’s ABS module. It's designed to work with mid – skirt mounted ABS sensors, which is where the name comes from. Think of it as a translator between the trailer’s wheels and the tractor’s brain when it comes to braking. It sits right where the trailer’s ABS wiring harness connects to the main communication line. It essentially completes that circuit. Without it, the tractor can’t ‘see’ what’s happening at the trailer wheels, and the ABS can't function correctly. It's part of the overall network, making sure everything talks to each other.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s hugely important for safety. If this fails, your trailer ABS will likely drop offline. You’ll notice if that happens – the ABS light on your tractor will come on, and you’ll lose the benefits of ABS on the trailer – things like preventing wheel lockup during hard braking, which helps you maintain control, especially in slippery conditions. It’s a relatively small part, but a failure can have big consequences. We carry them here, and you can also find them online at Fixparts Online if you prefer. They’re not usually something you’d replace unless you’re chasing an ABS fault code, or if you see physical damage.
