  • Intermittent Brake Performance: May indicate a faulty electrical connection or wear on the module’s contacts.

Error Code Solutions

  • P0571: Brake Switch Circuit Malfunction - Check the electrical connection between the module and the vehicle’s brake switch. Ensure the connector is fully seated and free of corrosion.
  • P2534: Brake Switch A Circuit High - Inspect the wiring for damage or fraying. If the wiring is intact, verify that the module is compatible with your F-150’s trim level and engine.
  • U0121: Lost Communication with Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Module - Ensure the module is properly programmed (if applicable) and that the ABS system is functioning correctly. Contact a professional for further diagnostics.

How to Reset Check Engine Light After Installation

  1. Turn the ignition key to the “On” position without starting the engine.
  2. Locate the OBD-II port under the dashboard (near the steering column).
  3. Connect an OBD-II scanner to the port and follow the scanner’s instructions to clear the error codes.
  4. Turn off the ignition and wait 30 seconds, then restart the engine to verify the check engine light is no longer illuminated.
  5. If the light persists, check the installation for loose connections or contact EGR Performance for technical support.

What to Do If Your Vehicle Loses Power After Installation

  • Turn off the engine immediately and disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical damage.
  • Inspect the electrical connector on the trailer brake controller to ensure it is properly connected and not causing a short circuit.
  • Check the vehicle’s fuses related to the brake system and trailer controller; replace any blown fuses.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal and start the engine to test for power. If the issue persists, contact a professional mechanic or EGR Performance for assistance.

Long-Term Maintenance Tips

  • Regular Inspection: Every 10,000 miles, inspect the module’s electrical connector for corrosion, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the module is securely mounted to the factory bracket.
  • Routine Maintenance: Every 20,000 miles, clean the electrical contacts on the module and connector with a soft brush or electrical contact cleaner to ensure optimal performance.
  • Wear Parts Replacement: The module’s electrical contacts may wear over time; replace the module if you notice intermittent performance or corrosion that cannot be cleaned.
  • Hardware Check: Every 15,000 miles, check the mounting hardware to ensure it is tight and secure. Tighten any loose screws or bolts to prevent the module from moving during driving.
  • Storage Tips: If your vehicle will be stored for an extended period (3 months or more), disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent drain on the battery and protect the module’s electrical components.
  • Warranty Reminder: Following these maintenance guidelines will keep your 1 Year Limited Warranty valid.

What is a Trailer Brake Controller?

A trailer brake controller is an electronic device that connects to your vehicle’s braking system and controls the brakes on a towed trailer. It ensures synchronized braking between the vehicle and trailer, improving safety and reducing stopping distance.

How does a Trailer Brake Controller work?

This trailer brake controller detects when you apply the vehicle’s brakes and sends a signal to the trailer’s brakes, applying the appropriate amount of force to match the vehicle’s braking. It integrates with your Ford F-150’s existing systems for seamless operation.

What are the benefits of a Trailer Brake Controller?

The main benefits are improved safety while towing, reduced stopping distance, less wear on your vehicle’s brakes, and better control over the trailer. It also ensures compliance with towing safety regulations in many regions.

Will a Trailer Brake Controller void my Ford F-150’s warranty?
