Uninstalling the Telematics Control Unit (TCU):

Most bus installs use the vehicle diagnostic port for power and engine data sourcing.

  1. If you do not know where the TCU is installed follow the diagnostic cable from the vehicle diagnostic port.
  2. The diagnostic cable splits into two male plugs and connects with the TCU: One 4-pin connector and one 10-pin connector. Disconnect these from TCU to cut off power and data.IMG_6005.jpg
  3. With all cables disconnected, press the hinge of the TCU mounting bracket to loosen its grip and remove the box.
  4. If there is no intention to use the removed TCU in another vehicle, its monthly service charge can be discontinued by processing a Service Deactivation form.

For more information on how to process this change, please consult our Service Deactivation guide.

Uninstalling a Data I/O Cable

When a Zonar 5-pin data I/O cable is used, a male 12-pin connector is plugged into the TCU. This plug contains five insulated wires.

  1. Follow these wires from the 12-pin connector and disconnect them from their end sources.
  2. Once all five wires have been disconnected from their end sources, unplug the 12-pin connector from the TCU.
