The NEXIQ Technologies Universal J560 PLC Adapter extracts data from the power line and converts it to the J1708 protocol, and it's designed to work with virtually any OEM heavy duty vehicle communication interface or scan tool. The adapter's ability to convert data to J1708 extends the capabilities of J1708/J1587 diagnostic tools, enabling those tools to support J2497 Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication. When used with an ABS diagnostic software application, the technician can detect ABS warning lamp messages coming from the trailer ECU, test the in-cab trailer ABS warning lamp and test SAE J1708 MID 10 and 11 messages and J1587 MIDs 136 through 139.
