The Jaltest MDC14 is the ETM multipin cable for brake pad wear sensors. At one end is a 16-pin OBD2 connector in a black housing marked MDC14, for the Jaltest ETM. At the other end, three leads run to three separate test pins in blue, black and red.
With these pins you connect directly to the sensor connection, instead of to a fixed mating connector; that is what multipin means here. This is how you test the wear sensor on commercial vehicles with the ETM, separately from the control unit. The cable only works with the ETM on a Jaltest Link, with an ETM licence and a current CV or Modular software licence.
ADVANTAGES
POINTS TO NOTE
Applications and functionality
Via this cable the Jaltest ETM communicates directly with the wear sensor, without the control unit being involved. With the separate test pins you can also reach a sensor connection without a matching mating connector.
What this cable is used for
- Wear sensors: Testing on commercial vehicles.
- Separate test pins: Blue, black and red.
- No mating connector: Probe the contacts directly.
- Always with the ETM: On a Jaltest Link.
What you can do
- Standalone testing: ETM replaces the control unit.
- Identifying a fault: Sensor or wiring.
- End of Line test: Confirm that it works.
- Measure first: Do not replace unnecessarily.
How to use it
- Start the software: Open Jaltest with the ETM on the PC.
- Free the sensor: Disconnect the plug of the wear sensor.
- Place the pins: Position the three pins on the contacts.
- Connect the ETM: Plug the OBD2 end into the ETM.
- Testing: Select the sensor test in the ETM.
Compatible devices and applications
The component and the number of pins are decisive. The MDC14 has three test pins and is intended for brake pad wear sensors. It works with the Jaltest ETM on a Jaltest Link V8.1 or V9. Below it 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; for an earlier ETM version, use the MDC100.9 adapter cable.
- 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 handheld devices.
