The Jaltest MDC12 is the test cable for speed sensors. It connects the inductive wheel speed sensor of the ABS to the 16-pin OBD2 connector of the Jaltest ETM. Such a sensor has two connections, which is what 2-pin ABS in the title refers to. Speed sensor and ABS sensor are the same component here.

The cable is an adapter with a black housing marked Jaltest MDC12. One end has the OBD2 plug protruding directly from the housing, while the other end has a short cable running to a round 2-pole connector. You connect this directly to the sensor, not to the vehicle's diagnostic socket. The ETM then sets up the communication itself, so you can see whether the sensor, the wiring or the control unit is the cause.

KEY BENEFITS

✔Connect the round 2-pole connector directly to the speed sensor, so you do not need to improvise with loose test probes.
✔The ETM takes over the role of the control unit, so you can assess the sensor separately from the rest of the system.
✔If the sensor proves to be working correctly, the cause lies elsewhere and you do not unnecessarily replace it.
✔Use the End of Line test to confirm after installation that the sensor is working correctly.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕Works exclusively with the Jaltest ETM; this cable is not intended for vehicle diagnostics via the Jaltest Link.
✕Requires an ETM licence in addition to a current CV or Modular software licence; other modules cannot be combined with the ETM.
✕The ETM does not work on Jaltest handheld scanners; you operate it from a PC or laptop.
✕The MDC10 and MDC11 are intended for the brake pad wear sensor, with a round 3-pole connector; so count the poles of the sensor.

Applications and functions

Via this cable the Jaltest ETM communicates directly with the component, without the involvement of the vehicle's control unit. With the MDC12 you reach the wheel speed sensor; with the other ETM cables the ETM also covers modulators and wear sensors.

What the Jaltest ETM covers

  • EBS Wabco: Modulators of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation.
  • EBS Knorr-Bremse: Modulators of the 2nd and 3rd generation.
  • Trailer Knorr-Bremse: Trailer modulators.
  • Speed sensors: Inductive, of ABS and EBS.
  • Wear sensors: Brake pad thickness.

What you can do

  • Test separately: ETM replaces the control unit.
  • Identify the fault: Sensor or wiring.
  • End of Line test: Confirm that it works.
  • Measure first: Do not replace unnecessarily.

How to use it

  1. Start the software: Open Jaltest with the ETM on the PC.
  2. Clear the sensor: Disconnect the plug of the speed sensor.
  3. Connect: Fit the 2-pole connector to the sensor.
  4. Connect the ETM: Insert the OBD2 end into the ETM.
  5. Test: Select the sensor test in the ETM.

Compatible devices and applications

The component determines compatibility, not the vehicle. The MDC12 is intended for inductive wheel speed sensors with a round 2-pole connection and works only with the Jaltest ETM on a Jaltest Link V8.1 or V9. Below is shown which ETM cable belongs to which component.

Cables for the Jaltest ETM:

  • MDC02 to MDC09: EBS modulators from Knorr-Bremse and Wabco.
  • MDC12 and MDC13: Speed sensors.
  • MDC10, MDC11 and MDC14: Brake pad wear sensors.
  • MDC100.9: Adapter cable for an earlier ETM version.

What you need

  • Jaltest ETM: The test module for components. For the Jaltest Link V9 this is the ETM interface 70001007; the complete ETM kit is 70001008.
  • ETM licence: The ETM does not start without this licence. The annual renewal has reference 29701.
  • Current Jaltest software licence: A CV licence or a Modular licence. Other modules cannot be combined with the ETM.
  • PC or laptop: The ETM does not work on Jaltest handhelds.
💡
Good to know: The hardware and software of the ETM run in line with the expiry date of your Jaltest software licence. If that licence has more than one year remaining, you only pay for the remaining period. Once the Jaltest licence expires, the ETM will no longer work until it is renewed. Therefore, check until when your licence runs before ordering.
