In this article, we’ll demonstrate how to retrieve and view ABS and traction control fault codes using the WABCO Toolbox software.
For the past decade, WABCO braking systems have remained fairly standard, but there were notable changes in the 2013–2014 model years. Earlier models, known as the legacy system, utilized the J1708 network for diagnostic communication, while newer versions now operate on J1939. This video focuses on retrieving and viewing fault codes in the legacy system using the WABCO

To begin, open the WABCO Toolbox software on your diagnostic laptop and select the J1708 Toolbox from the main menu. Next, click the truck icon to establish a connection. Once connected, all relevant data fields will populate automatically.
Under the “Faults” section, you’ll notice that while there are no active faults, there are stored faults in the system. To view more details, click on the ABS icon with the highway trailer image.
This will bring you to the Fault Information page, where you’ll find details such as fault name, type (active or inactive), frequency of occurrence, System Identifier (SID), and Failure Mode Identifier (FMI). Each fault will include repair instructions to help with troubleshooting.
For additional details on a specific fault, double-click on its name. This will provide further insight into possible causes and suggested remedies, including the suspect component and its location.
In this example, we see a J1939 data link fault, along with a description, fault indication (as displayed via the ABS warning light), system reaction, and recommended repairs.
This information will help you get started with the WABCO Toolbox software. Be sure to properly close the program by clicking the red “X” in each menu before exiting.
