gain setting is at a point just

below trailer wheel lock-up. If

towing a heavier trailer, trailer

wheel lock-up may not be

attainable even with the
maximum gain setting of 10.

Initial Output Setting

The trailer brake controller lets
you customize how aggressively
the trailer brakes engage. The
default value is set to “Light”. We
recommend this setting for the
majority of trailers. If you are using
an EOH trailer with a high setting

voltage, or if you prefer to feel

more brake feedback from the

trailer, then select “Medium” or
“Heavy”.

Trailer Brake Effort Setting

The trailer brake controller allows
the user to customize how

aggressively the trailer brakes

engage. The default value is "Low"

and is the recommended setting

for most trailers. If your trailer's
brakes require more initial voltage,

or if you prefer more aggressive
trailer braking, then select either

the "Medium" or the "High"

setting.

Messages

Note: An authorized dealer can
diagnose the trailer brake controller
to determine exactly which trailer
fault has occurred. However, your
Ford warranty does not cover this
diagnosis if the fault is with the
trailer.

TRAILER BRAKE MODULE
FAULT

Displays in response to faults
sensed by the trailer brake
controller, accompanied by a

single tone. If this message

appears, contact an authorized

dealer as soon as possible for

diagnosis and repair. The
controller may still function, but

with degraded performance.

WIRING FAULT ON TRAILER

Displays when there is a short

circuit on the electric brake output

wire.
If this message displays,
accompanied by a single tone,

with no trailer connected, the
problem is with your vehicle wiring

between the trailer brake

controller and the 7-pin connector

at the bumper.
