The TSC is compatible with various integrated and aftermarket trailer brake controllers. Tuson RV Brakes participated in joint testing with Fiat/Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, and Toyota and verified that the TSC is compatible with their integrated trailer brake controllers. Various major aftermarket trailer brake controllers were also tested with the TSC and found compatible.
The TSC is a great enhancement to a truck's existing trailer sway control system. Testing has shown that the TSC will activate on smaller sways prior to the truck's system and in most cases prevent the trailer sway from increasing to a point where the truck's system will activate. The TSC is the first line of defence against trailer sway and the truck's system is there as a backup. Since the TSC activates on the smaller sways and uses the trailer brakes to counteract the sway, it provides sway control that is more reactive and comfortable to the driver than the truck's sway control system.
The TSC comes with a "STATUS LED" light that is mounted on the outside of the trailer and can be seen from the driver's rear view mirror (if located properly). A GREEN light indicates that all is well. A RED light signals a problem.
The installation of the TSC involves locating the correct trailer wires, making electrical connections and securely mounting the module in the proper location to function correctly. For these reasons and due to the safety implications involved with a trailer braking system, the TSC should be installed by a qualified trailer service technician.
No. The TSC only activates the trailer brakes when trailer sway exceeds a level that is growing and becoming noticeable to the driver. When the TSC activates, the driver will feel the trailer brakes correcting the sway by a slight pulling back on the tow vehicle. The amount of sway control braking is proportional to the amount of trailer sway. Light sway equals light braking, heavy sway equals heavy braking.
No. The TSC is fully automatic and self-adjusting.
If they are properly loaded and maintained, fifth wheels are inherently less prone to sway than bumper pull trailers however, under certain conditions sway can still be a problem. The TSC helps control sway on fifth wheels when it occurs.
