KB4TA System Overview

P r o d u c t   D a t a

Configuration of the KB4TA Module

ABS Auto Configuration

When manufactured the KB4TA module has a default ABS configuration of 2S/2M. If the ABS configuration has not 
been manually set using the diagnostic tool ECU

talk

®

 then, at power up, if the KB4TA detects additional sensors 

it will perform an auto-configuration. An auto-configuration only adjusts upward (e.g. from 2S/2M to 4S/2M). 

configuration will not be accepted if a wheel speed signal is generated at the time of configuration

.

A 4S/3M configuration cannot be realised automatically, this requires manual configuration with the diagnostic tool 
ECU

talk

®

.

ABS manual Configuration

Depending upon the required ABS configuration it may be necessary to use the diagnostic tool ECU

talk

®

 to manually 

configure the KB4TA module, i.e. 4S/3M ABS configuration. 

Once manually configured, the KB4TA module will no longer auto-configure, unless the “Reset ABS Configuration” 
option is used in the diagnostic tool ECU

talk

®

Auxiliary Configuration

The KB4TA module supports the configuration of auxiliary functions on AUXIO1 and AUXIO2 using the diagnostic 
tool ECU

talk

®

. However, the associated pins can only be configured as AUXIO if they are not already configured as 

4S/3M and stop lamp power respectively. 

Part number K004246 (ES1305) will only allow the AUXIO to be configured as headboard warning light, 24V (Power 
Supply) or OFF. 

Part number K004236 (ES1305) will allow the AUXIO to be configured as headboard warning light, 24V (Power 
Supply), RtR, ISS, ABS Active or OFF. 

Both part numbers additionally support configuration of the AUXIO as Pad Wear inputs.

Non Standard Tyre Sizes

The KB4TA module allows for tyre rolling radius and sensing ring tooth count parameters to be set for each axle 
using a diagnostic tool ECU

talk

®

. This setting is necessary for the module to accurately calculate the vehicle speed 

and determine the odometer mileage. Wheels of the same axle must be set to the same rolling radius and sensing 
ring tooth count. In most cases, these parameters are set by the trailer OEM and do not need to be adjusted. In the 
case of a service replacement unit, always check that these parameters are set to match the vehicle. Refer to the 
manufacturer’s tyre specification for correct values. Sensing ring tooth count is defaulted to 100 teeth, but can be 
adjusted between 60 and 120 teeth.
