Key Features & Benefits

These caps are pretty simple, really. They cover and seal off the ports on your trailer ABS module – those are the connections where lines run to control the brakes on each wheel. Basically, it keeps dirt, moisture, and road grime out of the system. They also help maintain pressure in the lines when the system isn't actively braking. Think of it as a little bodyguard for a really important part. The ABS module is what manages the braking force to each wheel, and those ports are entry points. The cap seals it all off. It's part of the air brake system, specifically for trailers that have ABS. It doesn’t make the brakes work, it just helps keep the system that does work, working reliably.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's one of those parts that you don't really think about until something goes wrong. If dirt and water get into those ports, it can cause corrosion, damage the seals inside the module, and eventually lead to brake malfunctions. You’ll notice if you’ve got a leak, probably as reduced braking power or issues with the ABS system activating when it shouldn’t. These caps are inexpensive to replace and can save you a lot of money and trouble down the road. We carry a good selection over at Fixparts Online, and it's worth checking to make sure you have good ones installed as part of regular trailer maintenance.
