When it comes to keeping commercial trailers safe, reliable, and roadworthy, there’s one system that plays a vital role — the Electronic Braking System (EBS). But as these systems become more advanced, diagnosing faults and maintaining them isn’t always straightforward. That’s where specialist diagnostic tools come into their own.
At Eclipse, we provide the Jaltest Trailer diagnostic solution, designed to make EBS maintenance and repair easier, faster, and more accurate for commercial vehicle workshops.
What Is Trailer EBS and Why Does It Matter?
Trailer EBS is a sophisticated braking control system used in commercial trailers. It improves braking stability, efficiency, and safety by electronically managing the braking process. It communicates with the towing vehicle and adjusts braking pressure based on load, road conditions, and driver input.
However, EBS isn’t immune to faults. Common issues include:
- Communication errors between the trailer and tractor head
- Faulty sensors (e.g., ABS wheel speed sensors)
- Valve malfunctions
- Power supply faults
- Calibration errors
Left unchecked, EBS faults can lead to braking failure, increased wear, and even MOT failure — not to mention the safety risks on the road.
How Jaltest Trailer Diagnostic Tools Simplify EBS Maintenance
The Jaltest Trailer diagnostic tool is a multi-brand, all-in-one solution specifically designed for trailers. It’s capable of diagnosing a wide range of trailer EBS systems from manufacturers like Wabco, Knorr-Bremse, and Haldex.
With Jaltest, technicians can carry out the following tasks, and more:
- Read and clear fault codes quickly across multiple EBS brands
- Run live data monitoring for components such as braking pressure, sensor signals, and voltage
- Perform calibrations and adjustments, such as sensor resets or valve calibrations
- Access guided troubleshooting with wiring diagrams, step-by-step repair guides, and component locations
- Test components in real-time, helping pinpoint issues before parts are unnecessarily replaced
In short, Jaltest empowers workshops to diagnose EBS faults with confidence, without relying on expensive dealer tools.
Save Time, Save Money — Stay Roadworthy
Time is money in the world of commercial transport. Trailer downtime due to undiagnosed faults costs fleets dearly — not just in repair bills but in missed deliveries and failed contracts.
By using a specialist diagnostic tool like Jaltest, technicians can identify problems faster, fix them more efficiently, and minimise trailer downtime. Plus, the ability to work across all major trailer brands means one tool does it all — no need for multiple OEM-specific systems.
More Than Just EBS: Comprehensive Trailer Diagnostics
Jaltest Trailer diagnostics doesn’t stop at the braking system. It also covers:
- Air suspension
- Refrigeration systems
- Lighting systems
- Tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS)
- Remote Control Units (RCU)
- CAN communication checks
- And more
This means it’s a complete solution for trailer maintenance, helping keep every component in peak working order.
