Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically controls the air pressure to your trailer brakes. It takes the signal from your truck's brake pedal and translates that into a signal for the trailer’s air brakes. It handles things like applying the brakes smoothly, preventing wheel lockup, and even has a manual emergency brake function. It also incorporates a parking brake feature to hold the trailer securely when you're stopped. It’s a pretty sophisticated little unit. Think of it as the brain between your truck’s braking system and your trailer’s brakes. It receives the signal when you hit the brakes in the truck, and then tells the trailer brakes how much to apply. It manages the air flow to the brake chambers on the trailer axles. It’s a critical component in a safe air brake system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without this, your trailer brakes wouldn’t work correctly – or at all. It's vital for keeping your trailer under control, especially with heavier loads or downhill. It acts like a shield against runaway trailers – preventing serious accidents. You’ll notice if this thing goes bad because you’ll get little to no braking from the trailer, or erratic, uneven braking. It’s a safety item, plain and simple. If you're needing a replacement, Fixparts Online usually has a good stock of these, and they're a reliable source for air brake components. It's one of those parts you really want to be in good working order.
