A WABASH NATIONAL BRAND

Wabash National introduces a cost-effective and versatile new anti-lock brake system designed
specifically for application on trailers. What sets the new MBS-1 system apart from other ABS
systems?

Modular Approach Saves Cost. The ABS electronics and brake modulating hardware are
separate from the brake valve. The MBS-1 system retains a traditional and service-proven
relay valve to actuate the brakes. Troubleshooting is easier than with other systems that
package the brake valve with the electronics. If repairs are ever required, the failed
component only can be replaced instead of the entire module, saving cost.

Integrated Quick Exhaust Valve Provides Benefits.

The MBS-1 system provides a quick exhaust feature,
improving the system’s brake release response time.
This feature also automatically flushes contaminants
from the system with every release, removing a
major source of failures.

One-Worker Diagnostics. With this Wabash

National exclusive, only one individual is required to
diagnose and troubleshoot the MBS-1 system. A
maintenance switch in the ABS lamp harness allows
the technician standing by the tandem to initiate the self-diagnostic process. Diagnostic
information is displayed by warning lamp flash codes. Diagnostics capabilities are self-
contained - no additional hardware is required.

Top Performance. The MBS-1 system offers reliable braking performance providing
stopping distances and stability comparable to other premium systems.

“Easy-Access” Mounting. The Antilock Control Module is

mounted toward the front of the suspension bogie, either
directly on a crossmember or siderail, or on a simple
bracket. This provides quick access if maintenance or
service are ever required.
