Group 59 Anti-Lock Brake System (Bendix) Troubleshooting
Power/Data Cable
The data and power cable must be connected to the ve-
hicle or an external 12–volt power source before the
Pro-Link/MPC tool can function.
Connecting the Power/Data Cable
Earlier cables consisted of a single assembly; both the
data cable and power cable are attached by a single
molded connector. Later versions have two separate ca-
bles.
In both cases, the power cable includes a cigarette
lighter adapter.
1 Locate the vehicle power/data cable (part number
501002 or J-38500–2). The cable has a large, 15–
pin connector with two thumbscrews. Note that part
501002 is a two-piece cable and permits the re-
moval of the power cable (containing the cigarette
lighter adapter).
2 Plug the connector into the top of the Pro-Link/MPC
tool.
3 Tighten the two thumbscrews to secure the cable.

Fuse

the MPC cartridge that can be reset.
