2 Safety Information
Read and observe all Warning and Caution hazard alert messages in this publication. They provide infor-
mation that can help prevent serious personal injury, damage to components, or both.

WARNING
To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection when you perform vehicle mainte-
nance or service.

WARNING
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is an electrical system. When you work on the ABS, take the
same precautions that you must take with any electrical system to avoid serious personal injury. As
with any electrical system, the danger of electrical shock or sparks exists that can ignite flammable
substances. You must always disconnect the battery ground cable before working on the electrical
system.

WARNING
Park the vehicle on a level surface. Block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Support the
vehicle with safety stands. Do not work under a vehicle supported only by jacks. Jacks can slip and
fall over. Serious personal injury and damage to components can result.

3 Replacement Kit Information

Enhanced Easy-Stop™ Trailer ABS ECU/dual modulator valve assembly, Part Number 400 500 103 0, has
replaced ECU/modulator valve assembly, Part Number 472 500 012 0. This replacement assembly meets
the March 1, 2001 FMVSS 121 in-cab trailer indicator lamp mandate.
The Easy-Stop™ ECU/modulator valve assembly may have been used in a 2S/1M, 2S/2M or 4S/2M
configuration. Installation instructions for the replacement assembly, which may be used as a 2S/2M, 4S/2M
or 4S/3M system, will differ, depending on the configuration.
If the 472 500 103 0 replacement assembly is for a 4S/3M installation, you will need Installation Guide
TP-0378 and Replacement Kit R955346 or R955347.
 Sensor and air line locations depend on the mounting orientation of the replacement assembly and
are explained in detail in the instructions.

Differences Between Easy-Stop™ and Enhanced Easy-Stop™

4 Differences Between Easy-Stop™ and Enhanced

Easy-Stop™
There are some changes to Enhanced Easy-Stop™ that you need to be aware of before you begin the
installation.
 Enhanced Easy-Stop™ includes the Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication function.
 The ECU/dual modulator valve assembly must be mounted as one unit.
 The LED on top of the ECU has been eliminated.
 The blink code tool LED does not operate simultaneously with the ABS lamp on the trailer.
The valve portion of the ECU/dual modulator valve assembly contains two separate modulator valves that
share common control and exhaust ports.
If the system you are replacing used two SEPARATE valves, you must remove the old ECU/valve assembly
AND the external ABS modulator valve, air lines and associated cabling. Because BOTH modulator valves
are now included in one valve package, all air tubing and hoses must be routed to the new ECU/dual mod-
ulator valve assembly. Some air delivery hoses may need to be rerouted or reworked in order to reach the
delivery ports of the new assembly.
Each valve has its own delivery ports, three each. Therefore, the mounting orientation — whether the valve
is facing the front or the rear of the trailer — determines sensor hookup.
If this assembly is mounted facing forward — toward the front of the trailer — the YE sensor connections
go to the curbside and the BU sensor connections go to the roadside. If this assembly is mounted facing
the rear, the YE sensor connections go to the roadside, and the BU sensor connections go to the curbside.

5.4.1.5 Install the Power Adapter or Power/Diagnostics Adapter Cable

Replacement Kit R955320: Power Adapter Cable
Replacement Kit R955321: Power/Diagnostics Adapter Cable
 Both the straight and “Y” replacement power adapter cables have a WABCO power connector
on one end and a mating Easy-Stop™ power adapter connector on the other end. The Easy-
Stop™ power adapter connector eliminates the need to replace the existing Easy-Stop™
power cable. The WABCO power connector is different from the connector on the old cable.
Therefore, the replacement cable MUST be used with the replacement ECU/dual modulator
valve assembly.
 The power portion of the power/diagnostics adapter cable is 1.6 feet (0.5 meter). The
diagnostic portion of the adapter cable is 10 feet (3 meters).
To install the power or power/diagnostics adapter cable:
1. Push the hinged power connector retaining clip UP and remove the protective cap from the
ECU/modulator valve assembly. Plug the 8-pin connector on the power or power/diagnostics adapter
cable into the ECU/dual modulator valve assembly. WABCO identification (lettering on the 8-pin cable
connection) must face DOWN. Pull the hinged power connector retainer clip on the ECU/dual
modulator valve assembly DOWN to secure the connection. Figure 9.

• Connect roadside front sensor at YE1.
• Connect roadside rear sensor at YE2.
* If the lift axle is sensed in 4S/2M installations: Sensors YE2 and BU2 must always be used on the lift axle to avoid
an unwanted ABS indicator lamp illumination.
2. If the sensors are not correctly installed, perform the necessary repairs.

5.6.3.1.2 Air Line Installation

1. Ensure that all unused air ports are plugged and that the exhaust port is facing DOWN.
2. Look at the air line installation to verify that all air lines are correctly installed.
 If the ECU/dual modulator valve assembly is mounted with the sensors facing the FRONT of the
trailer, the air lines for the three delivery ports located under the YE sensor connectors must be
routed to CURBSIDE; the air lines for the three delivery ports on the opposite side of the valve
must be routed to ROADSIDE. Figure 19.
 If the ECU/dual modulator valve assembly is mounted with the sensors facing the REAR of the
trailer, the air lines for the three delivery ports located under the YE sensor connectors must be
routed to ROADSIDE; the air lines for the three delivery ports on the opposite side of the valve
must be routed to CURBSIDE. Figure 20.

5.6.4 Perform End of Line Test

1. Apply 12 volts DC power to the ABS.
2. Listen for the ECU/dual modulator valve assembly to click four times.
3. If the indicator lamp comes on for three seconds then goes out, this indicates a correct installation.
The end of line test is complete.
If the ABS indicator lamp comes on and stays on, check the sensor installation.
A. Remove the power from the ABS and raise the sensed wheels so they may be rotated.
B. Apply emergency air to fill the air tanks and release the spring brakes so that the wheels may be
rotated.
C. Repeat Steps 1 and 2.
D. Rotate each sensed wheel — one at a time — at a rate of 1/2 revolution per second. This rate
equals a wheel speed of approximately 4 mph (7 kph).
The ABS indicator lamp should now go out and stay out, indicating a correct installation. The end
of line test is complete.
4. If the ABS lamp does not go out, there is a sensor gap problem or hardware fault. Adjust the sensor
and, if necessary, perform a fault code check.

5.6.4.1 Sensor Gap Adjustment

Push the sensor into its holder until it contacts the tooth wheel. At installation, there must be no gap
between the sensor and the tooth wheel.
Measure the AC voltage output. The value should be 0.2 volt AC when the wheel is rotated at a rate of 1/2
revolution per second.
Perform any necessary repairs.
Repeat the end of line test. If the trailer lamp still does not go out, a system fault exists. Perform a fault
code check.

5.6.5 Fault Code Check

Use constant power activation to perform the fault code check.
1. Apply constant power to the ECU/dual modulator valve assembly for more than ONE, but less than
FIVE seconds.
2. Remove the power.
3. Reapply the power.
4. Check the trailer ABS indicator lamp on the side of the trailer. The fault code will be displayed three
times.
5. Find the fault on the chart and perform the necessary repairs.
6. After making the necessary corrections, repeat the end of line test.

5.6.5.1 Trailer Identification

After ensuring the Enhanced Easy-Stop™ trailer ABS has been correctly installed, attach the ABS indicator
label included with the ECU/dual modulator valve assembly to the trailer. Generally, this will be applied near
the ABS trailer indicator lamp. Figure 21. Refer to the vehicle specification sheet for the correct location.
Fig. 21

NOTICE:
If the ABS indicator lamp
comes on and stays on when you
apply the brakes to a moving vehicle,
the trailer ABS is not working properly.
The ABS must be serviced as soon as
possible upon completion of your trip to
ensure full anti-lock braking capability.
TP-95172 Rev. 4/98

4005501a

If this label is not included with the assembly, let your supervisor know. Labels are available from WABCO.
Ask for part number TP-95172.
For additional assistance, contact the WABCO Customer Call Center at 855-228-3203.

6.1 Installing Sensors on Non-ABS-Prepped Axles

Sensor locations vary due to suspension type. WABCO recommends placing the sensor on the axle that
will provide the most braking performance. Contact your suspension manufacturer for further information.
1. Apply a mineral oil-based grease that contains molydisulfide to the sensor spring clip, the body of the
sensor and the bore of the sensor block. The grease must be anti-corrosive and contain adhesive
properties that will continuously endure temperatures from −40° to 300°F (−40° to 150°C).
2. Push the spring clip into the sensor holder from the inboard side, until the spring clip tabs are against
the sensor holder. Push the sensor into the spring clip as far as possible.
Use WABCO spring clips to ensure a correct fit.
3. Push the spring clip into the sensor holder from the inboard side until the spring clip tabs are against
the sensor holder. Push the sensor into the spring clip as far as possible. Figure 22.

4. Route the sensor cable toward the brake chamber, over the brake spider or through the pre-stamped
hole reserved for ABS sensors. Route to the back side of the axle. Secure the cable to the axle
between the brake spider and the suspension brackets. Continue to route the sensor cable behind the
spring seats. Secure the cable to the axle one inch from the molded sensor plug. Figure 23.
Do not overtighten tie wraps on a cable. Overtightening can damage the cable. Do not tie wrap the
molded sensor plug. The sensor extension cable must follow the brake hose to the ECU/valve
assembly to allow for axle jounce and rebound.

5. Install the wheel hub carefully so that the tooth wheel pushes against the sensor as the wheel
bearings are adjusted. There should be no gap between the sensor and the tooth wheel.
6. Test the sensor output voltage. Use a volt/ohm meter to check the output voltage of the sensors while
rotating the wheel at approximately 1/2 revolution per second. Minimum output must be 0.2 volt AC. If
minimum output is less than 0.2 volt AC, push the sensor toward the tooth wheel. Recheck the sensor
output.
