04 Int. model 8600 ABS has PCM locked out?

[dannyboy950]

I have a customer has an 04 Int 8600 that will not start, no obvious problems, fuel from lift pump ok, but injection pump fuel solenoid will not energize. pulled codes and have 2 ABS codes on right rear brakes.

Checked with 2 different scan tools and can not get past the ABS, scanners will not go past Brake control module. International says it will not allow it to start or scan ppast the brakes until ABS problem is resolved.

PCM will not open the fuel solenoid until then. INT. says this is by design.

Anybody heard of this before. I only thought CAN capable systems could do that and 04 was before CAN.

Hmmm.... sounds like a bad design

I have run in to that stupid stuff before where you can not proceed to the next problem until the current one is fixed. It is really common practice in the Army on our equipment. I have not figured out a way to bypass it. We just have to fix and test before we move on. Sucks.
