Product Description
The Bendix 802997 TABS-6 Trailer ABS Brake System Retrofit Kit is a complete replacement package designed to upgrade or repair compatible commercial trailer anti-lock braking systems. Combining an electronic control unit (ECU), pneumatic ABS modulator relay valve, and essential wiring components, this kit provides a practical solution for replacing older trailer ABS systems without purchasing each component separately.
Featuring a 2S/1M configuration with two wheel speed sensors and one modulator control channel, the TABS-6 system monitors wheel rotation and automatically adjusts brake pressure during ABS activation. This helps reduce wheel lockup, improve vehicle stability, and maintain braking control during emergency stops or slippery road conditions.
The 802997 is designed for compatible trailer axle configurations and can be used to replace certain older ABS systems from Bendix and other manufacturers. Its integrated electronic and pneumatic controls simplify system installation while providing dependable performance in demanding commercial trailer environments.

The Bendix 802997 includes the TABS-6 ABS module, power harness, two wheel speed sensor extension cables, identification label, and installation documentation. The kit does not include a separate spring brake valve or ABS indicator lamp.
For trailer configurations requiring replacement of an integrated spring brake valve along with the ABS system, Bendix offers a different kit, K050582, which includes the additional spring brake valve assembly.
Before ordering, verify the original trailer ABS configuration, electrical connections, wheel speed sensor arrangement, and pneumatic system requirements. This kit is intended for compatible 2S/1M trailer axle systems and should not automatically be substituted for 4S/2M or other ABS configurations.
Important product distinction: Bendix 802997 is a complete 2S/1M trailer ABS retrofit kit, not just an ABS modulator valve. It includes the TABS-6 module and associated wiring but does not include the separate spring brake valve found in kit K050582.
After installation, complete all required electrical, pneumatic, and ABS diagnostic checks according to Bendix service procedures.
