Closing the loop on this, I did confirm that if you get that cable I linked to above, besides being the right one for your truck side it also connects to the diag port on the M1082 so you can read ABS faults on the trailer as well. Looks like I actually have a sensor code stored… Glad I Checked!
Did you get a DS package with the IETM ? if you installed it it would have a DS Test Set Selector application that lets you pick "Serial ICE" which is what you have
@hike
Once you have the TMs
I did see a “troubleshooting data bus” procedure in the TM and it will step you through the process taking readings from your truck, using the ICE box that came with your kit.
a quick goog search shows some of those are voltage related, doubt it has anything to do with eco hubs, Mine never threw codes for that. the transmission will go into a relearn process, but that doesn't throw a code and it finishes the adaptive shifting stuff pretty quick.
thats interesting...
your problem to me seems very clearly a problem between your PC and your adapter. If the PC to DPA connection was good you would get a success message for that and a failure in the VDA to Vehicle window.. I would not be looking at your truck as the source of the problem at this time.
I would...
Did you follow the link I sent you on Post number #17 ?

That is the link to the legacy adapter drivers.
J1939 will not blink unless you are actually communicating on the bus with that protocol. It is perfectly normal for the adapter when simply powered with no communication to only blink J1708.
The problem here is that you have picked the wrong adapter, you have selected a DPA4 Plus USB, when...
The reason I didn't suggest a sensor to check, is because that is a waste of time. Let me ask you this question. If your ABS ECU is complaining that you have a faulted ABS Modulator (and you don't know because you haven't pulled codes), what is the point of messing with the wheel sensors...
Not trying to be a jerk but I see this theme on the forum over and over and over. "I am going to trouble-shoot a completely computerized system, without using the diagnostics in the computer" How much sense does that make?
Right now you could buy this on ebay and have the means to interface...
this looks to be the one you need, maybe you can beat em up on the price?

I am pretty sure the gray connector on that cable can be used to diagnose the ABS in your M1082
The pac brake works just fine for me with the ECO hubs. Main difference is It Punks out a little sooner than it used to as 3rd gear is faster than it used to be. So where I feel like it used to stay on down to below 20mph, now it’s pretty much done for by 30-35ish. It would be great if it could...
Are you sure you got a genuine unit? Amazon and eBay are rife with cheap Chinese knockoffs.
Here are pictures of my genuine DPA 3 Plus and DPA 4 Plus and both of them have 9Pin connectors with 2 smaller pins. Both have been plugged up to multiple military trucks with no need for adapters. I...
