Abstract

A means for wiring a heavy load vehicle module to connect and disconnect a multiplicity of data cables to conduct and transmit brake signal data to an electronic braking system of the heavy load vehicle module, wherein the electronic braking system comprises a data input to receive the brake signal data and a data output to transmit the brake signal data, and connects among the multiplicity of data cables one data cable to the data input of the electronic braking system and another data cable to the data output of the electronic braking system, and disconnects the remaining data cables, wherein the multiplicity of data cables is greater than or equal to four. Furthermore, an electronic braking system for a heavy load vehicle module, and one such for a heavy load vehicle, with a means for wiring, is described.
