    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    Only two choices available. No choice for 101 - DG DPA II/III/III+ - COM 1. Searched dgtech.com for older downloads without success so far. Will check the USB to serial as COM1. Being Linux and fruit, Windows settings is a f$%&@ing nightmare—

    Right. Ours not blinking on J1939 is not a good sign. <CRAP!> another issue to address. Now how to determine if it is tool or truck—

    Good comments. Power and J channel blinking appear to come from the truck side. When you plug in truck side what indicators do you see on your DPA adaptor?

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    I wish I had videoed the firmware update, though I watched intently. All the J lights winked and blinked, Mode/DPA Pass blinked, received a successful message in the update software on the laptop. J1939 not blinking feels ominous to me, with my, admittedly, lack of experience using these tools—

    Yes. Diagnostic goes red, connection failed. I have tried every option choice presented. Give me a moment and I'll run back out and take photos—

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    hmmm. Well we connected the DPA III plus using the USB to serial. Computer talks to the Dearborn adaptor and we updated the firmware succesfully. Our M1078A1 talks to J1708 (it blinks red), though apparently not to J1939 or J1850 (no blinking, except while updating the firmware). Neither the...

    New toy arrived this morning: most parts look new, last calibration done in 2019. Good thing it is Friday, if UPS brings the serial to USB cable I may need to leave early—

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Better to await a replacement? Where this is going a 'Bubba threadlock' could be challenging in the future; replacing inner or outer bearings; repacking inners; replacing CTIS seals, wheel seals. When on the road choices must be made, when at home better to wait?

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    hmmm. My lock rings match yours and I noticed in the Youtube video they are also heftier. I am no engineer, though the amount of force on the lock rings from properly pre-tensioned bearing nuts should be small. Someone with more expertise will chime in—

    Alarm systems

    My thinking, right or wrong, is while in town anything in the cab is more likely damaged by the sun than stolen. Thieves do not want to climb up and be seen looting, they want to stay hidden in a row of cars. In all my years in the backcountry I have never had items stolen, in a campground...

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    While awaiting the arrival of the diagnostic kit: found another older HP laptop in the closet. This will become a dedicated LMTV laptop, windows 10 installed, no serial port, downloaded suggested software; started reading the ABS manual from the beginning rather than jumping to troubleshooting...

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    I did not find this helpful. Perhaps I am too slow to understand its use. The troubleshooting section refers to blink codes. Is the dash light supposed to blink? or is that somewhere else? Perhaps I gave up reading through this too soon—

    You are not being a jerk. I am in the wilderness here, learning new unfamiliar things; looking for just such a tool. This particular listing hasn't appeared in any of my searches over the past several weeks, though if it had, nothing in my current knowledge base would have given me the...

    So, with no TM pages, nor finding any suggestions; started following wires, checking connections, pulling out the sensors to clean them up. Dirty. One rear came out, the other wouldn't quite clear the brake shoe. As we rotate the tires and adjust the brakes, we will clean them all up...

    So, adapting the existing (to 12v) or adding an additional 12v nine pin plug allows us to create our own 'dash' display on our iPad, iphone, Surface or whatever andriod device one might have? Creating active real time data display while driving from our engine, transmission, etcetera?
