Activation Requirement for All Trailer ABS Users


IMPORTANT:

ä Please read the following notice before activating your Trailer ABS Suite
applications.

To use the Trailer ABS Suite applications (i.e., Eaton ABS, Haldex ABS, Wabash
ABS), you need to activate all three of the applications in the suite. To enable you
to activate the applications, you will be provided with three sets of product keys/
product serial numbers. These codes are printed on stickers on the packaging for
the Trailer ABS Suite software and documentation.

You must register all three applications before beginning to use the application
specific to your service department.

NOTE:
i If you require assistance with either of these tasks, please refer to the Pro-
Link iQ™ Hardware and Software User Manual or contact NEXIQ Technol-
ogies™ product support at (800) 639-6774.

- Getting Started

Getting Started
After the vehicle and fault scanning process is complete, the FAULTS tab is dis-
played on top of a number of other tabs, making it the active tab.

NOTE:
i The Pro-Link iQ™ Hardware and Software User’s Manual describes vehi-
cle and fault scanning in detail.

The FAULTS tab displays how many active and inactive faults were detected
during scanning. You can click the FAULTS tab at any point (an exception being
when you are in the midst of an actively running calibration or test) to bring it to
the top of the tab stack and make it the active tab.
