What's wrong?
The WABCO 2S/2M iABS ECU on 2021-2022 Great Dane Champion and Everest trailers is the electronic control unit for the trailer's anti-lock brake system. Wheel sensor cables feed speed information into the ECU, and the ECU uses that signal to help control brake lockup during a hard stop or low-traction stop.
On these trailers, the iABS sensor cables were plugged into the wrong ECU ports because the end-of-line brake validation software gave incorrect installation instructions. That crossed routing means the ECU receives wheel speed signals through the wrong inputs. The part itself is not described as defective; the problem is the cable connection at the control unit.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or service technician finds the issue by inspecting the iABS sensor cable routing at the ECU and confirming each cable is plugged into the correct port.
Who's affected?
Covers Champion trailers from 2021 and 2022, plus 2022 Everest trailers, all with the same WABCO iABS ECU in the hydraulic brake system.
