\nThe Jaltest JDC220A connects directly to the control unit of the Knorr-Bremse EBS 5, which is the diagnostic line it performs on the unit itself. Behind the 16-pin OBD2-connector splits the cable into two branches, each with a rectangular 18-pin connector in three rows of six: The one with pins, the other with cables. These two form a matching pair, so you connect the existing connection between thecontrol unit and wiring harness disconnect and insert this cable between them. This keeps the braking system connected whilst you read the data.\n
\nBehind this connection comes the Jaltest software with the EBS 5, the electronically controlled braking system from Knorr-Bremse. This allows the equipment to read the fault memory and the measurement values out, it sends components of the braking system, it sets parameters in and carries out the reset procedures that come with the system. Some of these functions become available with the separate module Knorr-Bremse Diagnostics(ref. 71502007). The cable is included in the Jaltest CV module.
KEY BENEFITS
IMPORTANT NOTES
Applications and functionality
Using this connection, you access the Jaltest software to diagnose the electronically controlled braking system from Knorr-Bremse, not the engine. Because the cable connects inline between the control unit and the wiring harness, the system remains connected during measurement. The control unit below is covered by Jaltest's EBS module, with the functions available there.
Control units you can access
- EBS 5, electronically controlled braking system: The braking system this cable is designed for, with fault codes, live data, actuation, parameters and resets.
What you can do
- Read and clear fault codes: Access the fault memory of the brake control unit and clear it after repair.
- View live data: Display current values from connected sensors, both numerically and graphically.
- Actuate components: Directly activate parts of the braking system to verify their operation.
- Configure parameters: Read and adjust the settings of the brake control unit.
- Perform resets: Execute the reset procedures associated with the system after service work.
Compatible vehicles and applications
The control unit determines compatibility, not the vehicle manufacturer. This cable is designed for the Knorr-Bremse EBS 5, identified by the two 18-pin connectors that meet on the unit and not by an OBD port elsewhere. Count on the unit the three rows of six na. An 18+18-pin connection on a ABS 6- or ABS24/EU12-unit belongs with the JDC305A.\n
Knorr-Bremse (designation):
- EBS 5:The electronically controlled braking system for which this cable is designed.
- ABS 6 and ABS24/EU12:Same 18+18-pin configuration, but for a different brake generation; the JDC305A is designed for that purpose.
- Vehicle make:Not definitive; the cable follows the Knorr-Bremse unit.
