These components work together to deliver precise control and enhanced safety while towing.

Manual Override Function Explained

The manual override function on the Agility Brake Controller is a crucial feature that allows drivers to apply the trailer brakes independently of the tow vehicle’s brakes. By engaging the manual lever, located on the front of the controller, you can activate the trailer brakes for additional control in situations like swaying or descending steep inclines. When the lever is pulled, the LED bars on the display will illuminate, indicating the power level being sent to the trailer brakes. This function is particularly useful for testing the trailer brake system or for extra stopping power when needed. It is important to use the manual override judiciously, as excessive or unnecessary use can wear down the trailer brakes. Always ensure the trailer brakes are properly synchronized with the tow vehicle for optimal performance and safety.

LED Indicators and Their Meanings

The Agility Trailer Brake Controller features LED indicators that provide essential feedback about the system’s status and operation. These indicators are crucial for monitoring the brake control’s functionality and diagnosing potential issues. When the controller is powered on, the LEDs will illuminate to indicate the system is active. During normal operation, the LEDs will display a steady light, showing that the trailer brakes are functioning properly. If the manual override is engaged, the LEDs will flash or change intensity to signal that the trailer brakes are being manually applied. In the event of an error, such as a short circuit (indicated by the error code “SC”), the LEDs will flash in a specific pattern or display a different color to alert the driver. Understanding these LED indicators ensures proper system monitoring and helps in addressing issues promptly for safe towing operations. Always refer to the manual for detailed explanations of all LED patterns and their corresponding meanings.

Troubleshooting Common Issues with the Agility Brake Control

Troubleshooting the Agility Brake Control involves identifying and addressing common issues promptly to ensure safe and reliable trailer braking. One of the most frequent problems is the “SC” error code, which indicates a short circuit in the system. This can occur in the blue brake output wire or the red stop light switch wire. To resolve this, disconnect the blue wire and test for continuity to identify the short. Another common issue is connection problems, where the trailer brakes fail to engage. This is often due to loose or corroded connections. Inspect all wiring and plugs, ensuring they are clean and securely attached. If the manual override function isn’t working, check if the lever is fully engaged and verify the wiring connections to the controller. Additionally, if the LED indicators are not illuminating, ensure the controller is properly powered and check for any blown fuses. Regularly testing the system and addressing issues early prevents more severe problems and ensures optimal braking performance.

Understanding Error Codes (e.g., SC for Short Circuit)

Understanding error codes is crucial for diagnosing and resolving issues with the Agility Trailer Brake Control. One of the most common error codes is “SC,” which stands for Short Circuit.
