NOTE: When using an Inline 5 or Inline 6, you can connect directly to the ECM using a programming
connection. This will tap into the 3-pin triangle connector. If programming through the 9-pin
American Trucking Association (ATA), you will need to pull the fuses for Antilock Brake System (ABS),
Transmission Control Module (TCM), Body Controller (BC), cluster, and any module that is transmitting
data on J1939 datalink. This will reduce the amount of datalink traffic to allow stable programming.
