The Jaltest MDC11 is the diagnostic cable for wear sensors and connects the brake pad wear sensor to the 16-pin OBD2 port of the Jaltest ETM. It is an adapter with its own housing. From the black plastic housing marked Jaltest MDC11, the OBD2 plug protrudes on one side; on the other side, a short cable runs to a round 3-pin connector with the three contacts in a triangle. On the MDC11, this cable enters the connector at a right angle, at an angle of ninety degrees.

With this connection, the Jaltest ETM accesses the sensor separately from the control unit and establishes the communication itself. This shows whether the sensor is actually faulty, or whether the cause lies in the wiring or the control unit. You confirm this with an End of Line test. In addition to this cable, you need the ETM itself, with an ETM licence and a current CV or Modular software licence.

HIGHLIGHTS

✔Connects directly to the brake pad wear sensor, so you do not have to improvise with loose test probes.
✔The ETM takes over the role of the control unit, so you assess the sensor separately from the installation.
✔Prevents unnecessary replacement. If the sensor proves to be working, the cause lies elsewhere.
✔Enables an End of Line test, with which you confirm that the sensor is working properly.

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 handhelds; you operate it from a PC or laptop.
✕The MDC10 is the same adapter with the cable entering the connector straight, and for speed sensors the MDC12 is the correct version.

Applications and functions

Via this cable, the Jaltest ETM communicates directly with the brake pad wear sensor, without the vehicle's control unit being involved. The cable connects to the sensor, not to the vehicle's diagnostic connector.

Components you can test

  • Wear sensor: Monitors the brake pad thickness.
  • Connector: Round, 3-pin.

What you can do

  • Isolated testing: Without the control unit.
  • Establish fault: Whether the cause lies elsewhere.
  • End of Line test: Confirm that it works.

How to use it

  1. Start software: Open Jaltest on the PC or laptop.
  2. Connect ETM: Connect the OBD2 side to the ETM.
  3. Clear the connector: Disconnect the vehicle plug from the sensor.
  4. Connect: Plug the cable into the sensor.
  5. Test: Start the End of Line test.

Compatible components and applications

The deciding factor is how the cable enters the connector. The MDC11 and the MDC10 have the same housing, the same OBD2 plug and the same round 3-pin connector; on the MDC11, the cable enters at a right angle.

Brake pad wear sensors:

  • 3-pin BWS: Round 3-pin connection, cable at a right angle.

Other versions:

  • MDC10: Cable straight into the connector.
  • MDC12: Speed sensors.

What you need

  • Jaltest ETM: The test module itself. For the Jaltest Link V9, this is the ETM interface with reference 70001007; the complete ETM kit is 70001008.
  • ETM licence: The ETM does not start without this licence. The annual renewal has reference 29701.
  • A current Jaltest software licence: A CV licence or a Modular licence. Other modules cannot be combined with the ETM.
  • Term: The ETM licence runs 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. If the Jaltest licence expires, the ETM will not work until it is renewed.
  • Power supply: The ETM is powered from the vehicle's batteries.
💡
Good to know: The only difference between the MDC10 and the MDC11 is the cable entry. It is straight on the MDC10 and angled on the MDC11. Check how the cable enters at your sensor connection and choose accordingly.
