2 Plug the Data Cable Atari End into the Atari End on the cable you attach
to the vehicle, i.e., Deutsch adapter or J560 PLC Cable Set.
3 Attach the vehicle interface cable to the vehicle.
— If you’re using the J560 PLC Cable Set, plug into the Power Line
Connector on the outside of the tractor or trailer.
— If you’re using the Deutsch Adapter, plug into the Deutsch Connector
typically located under the dash on the driver’s side, beside the driv-
er’s seat or near the brake ECU on the trailer.
Note:
Not all trailers are equipped with Deutsch Connectors.
4 If you’re using the J560 PLC Cable Set to attach to the
trailer
, connect
the alligator clips to an external power supply; otherwise, turn the trac-
tor’s key to the “on” position.
Selecting a Protocol & Registering the ECU
NEXIQ Brake-Link™
uses the SAE J1587
communication
protocol to interact
with the vehicle’s brake controllers. It sends and receives diagnostic informa-
tion (i.e., J1587 messages) over the:
• J1708 Bus
or
• Power Line Carrier (PLC) (only available if the ECU(s) support En-
hanced PLC Mode; see pg .30)
If you’re connecting to a tractor, use the Quick Disconnect
(Figure 2.2) to remove the alligator clips from the cable set first.
Since the tractor provides power, the alligator clips are
unnecessary and could potentially cause a short.
