Signal Specification, Brake Control Module (BCM) With STC/ TRACS

All values given are between the relevant terminal in column 1 and terminal #A16 or #A47 (ground), unless otherwise indicated in brackets.

Pins 6, 9, 13, 17-31, 35, 38-41 and 44 are not used.

NOTE:

It is important that the breakout box is connected and that the ground connections have been checked before starting to measure.

  U= DC voltage in volts (V) Ubat = battery voltage (V)  
  I = current in amperes (A) Ulow = voltage approximately 0 V  
  F = Frequency in Hertz (Hz)
