2. General requirements

2.1.The electric control line shall conform to ISO 11992-1 and 11992-2:2003 including Amd.1:2007 and be a point-to-point type using the seven pin connector according to ISO 7638-1 or 7638-2:2003. The data contacts of the ISO 7638 connector shall be used to transfer information exclusively for braking (including ABS) and running gear (steering, tyres and suspension) functions as specified in ISO 11992-2:2003 including Amd.1:2007. The braking functions have priority and shall be maintained in the normal and failed modes. The transmission of running gear information shall not delay braking functions. The power supply, provided by the ISO 7638 connector, shall be used exclusively for braking and running gear functions and that required for the transfer of towed vehicle related information not transmitted via the electric control line. However, in all cases the provisions of point 5.2.1 shall apply. The power supply for all other functions shall use other measures.

2.2.The support of messages defined within ISO 11992-2:2003 including Amd.1:2007 is specified in Appendix 1 to this Annex for the tractor and towed vehicle as appropriate.

2.3.The functional compatibility of tractors and towed vehicles equipped with electric control lines shall be assessed at the time of type approval by checking that the relevant provisions of ISO 11992:2003, including ISO 11992-2:2003 and its Amd.1:2007 parts 1 and 2, are fulfilled. Appendix 2 to this Annex provides an example of tests that may be used to perform this assessment.

2.4.When a tractor is equipped with an electric control line and electrically connected to a towed vehicle equipped with an electric control line, a continuous failure (> 40 ms) within the electric control line shall be detected in the tractor and shall be signalled to the driver by the yellow warning signal specified in point 2.2.1.29.1.2 of Annex I, when such vehicles are connected via the electric control line.
