Wabco 4496162350 Valve Diagnostic Cable

Description

The Wabco 4496162350 Valve/Diagnostic Cable (8.0M/5.0M) is a critical component for diagnosing and maintaining air brake systems, specifically within trailer brake controls. This cable connects diagnostic tools to the vehicle's air brake system, enabling technicians to efficiently identify and resolve issues. It features a diagnosis socket with a blue cap (7-pin + bayonet ISO 15170-B1-3.1-Sn/K1 4-pin) on one end and an X6 auxiliary plug (8-pin) on the other. This cable is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its dimensions are 68 x 367 x 379 mm, and it has two lengths: 8.00 m and 5.0 m.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically lets a technician communicate with the ABS modulator valve—that's the core of your trailer’s anti – lock braking system. It plugs into the valve itself and then into a diagnostic tool, allowing someone to read error codes, run tests on the system, and even cycle the valves to check operation. It's how they “talk” to the ABS to see what's going on internally. Think of your ABS as a sophisticated system trying to prevent wheel lockup during braking. This cable is the key to accessing information from that system. It's not a part that makes the brakes work directly, but it’s crucial for diagnosing issues when the brakes aren’t working right. It’s specifically for trailer brake controls, so it deals with the air brakes on the trailer itself, not the truck pulling it.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without this cable, troubleshooting ABS problems can be really time – consuming and involve a lot of guesswork. It prevents having to tear everything apart just to find a simple electrical issue. It acts like a shield, helping pinpoint the problem quickly and accurately. You’ll notice if this cable is bad or missing—the diagnostic tool just won’t be able to connect to the ABS system. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and it’s a good idea to have one if you do any trailer brake work yourself, or even just want to be prepared.
