Mastering Electric Trailer Brakes: Efficiency & Safety with Lite-Check
Electric trailer brakes are a critical component of any commercial fleet, ensuring smooth stopping power and driver safety. However, diagnosing and maintaining them can be a challenge without the right tools. Lite-Check offers cutting-edge diagnostic equipment to streamline electric trailer brake testing, helping fleets reduce downtime and improve safety.
How Electric Trailer Brakes Work
Electric trailer brakes use an electromagnet to apply braking force to the drum when the driver presses the brake pedal. The system relies on a steady electrical connection, often controlled through a brake controller in the truck. If there's an issue with wiring, magnets, or connections, braking performance can suffer—making routine diagnostics essential.
Common Issues with Electric Trailer Brakes
Fleet technicians often encounter these problems with electric trailer brakes:
✅ Weak Braking Power – Often caused by faulty wiring or a failing magnet.
✅ Intermittent Braking – Loose connections or corroded wiring can disrupt power flow.
✅ Brakes Locking Up – A malfunctioning brake controller or improper voltage can lead to sudden lock-ups.
✅ Uneven Braking – Unequal magnet wear or improper voltage distribution can result in one brake applying harder than the other.
