LEAKAGE AND OPERATIONAL TESTS

1. Before performing the leakage tests, block the wheels.
2. Fully charge the air brake system and verify proper

brake adjustment.

3. Make several trailer brake applications and check for

prompt application and release at each wheel.

4. Check the TABS-6 Adv module, modulator valve and

all air hose fittings for leakage using a soap solution.

Check the ABS solenoid body with the trailer service

brakes fully applied. If leakage is excessive — more

than a single 1" bubble within 1 minute — replace the

TABS‑6 Adv module.

Check the relay exhaust port with the trailer service

brakes released to be sure that leakage is less than a

single 1" bubble within 3 seconds. If excessive leakage

is detected at the relay exhaust port, perform the

following test before replacing the TABS‑6 Adv module:
• Apply the trailer spring brakes. Recheck for leakage

around the relay exhaust port. If the exhaust port

stops leaking, this indicates a leak between the

emergency and service sides of the spring brake

chamber. However, if the relay exhaust port

continues to leak excessively, replace the TABS‑6

Adv module.

5. Apply power and monitor the power-up sequence to

verify proper system operation. See Section 15.

6. Calibrate and set odometer parameters, if necessary,

using a diagnostic tool. See Section 16.

7. Perform an installation test using a diagnostic tool.

Minimum tests that are required to verify the proper

installation of the ABS/TRSP system are:

ECU Information: This test provides the user with

specific ECU information. It is required that no

DTC’s (other than “end-of-line test not completed”)

are present and that the ECU has been configured.

Wheel End Sequence Test: During this test,

checks are carried out that verify the correlation of

the wheel installed with a Wheel Speed Sensor and

the Pressure Modulator that controls the pressure

to the associated brake.

Lateral Acceleration Test: The installation angle

information is retrieved from the ECU and compared

to the predefined limits (+/-5 degrees). This test

verifies that the unit is installed as close to horizontal

as possible.
