WARNING: The Ford TBC has only been verified to be

compatible with trailers having electric-actuated drum brakes

(one to four axles) and not hydraulic surge or electric-over-hydraulic

types. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the trailer

brakes are adjusted appropriately, functioning normally and all electric

connections are properly made. Failure to do so may result in loss of

vehicle control, crash or serious injury.

The TBC user interface consists of

the following:

1. +/- (GAIN adjustment

buttons): Pressing these buttons

adjusts the TBC’s power output to

the trailer brakes (in

0.5 increments). The GAIN setting

can be increased to a maximum of

10.0 or decreased to a minimum of 0 (no trailer braking). Pressing and

holding a button raises or lowers the setting continuously. The gain

setting displays in the message center as follows: TBC GAIN = XX.X.

The trailer brake controller (TBC) is designed to display three items of

information in the instrument cluster message center. These are: gain

setting, output bar graph, and trailer connectivity status. They appear in

the message center as follows:

• TBC GAIN = XX.X NO TRAILER: The instrument cluster message

center displays the current gain setting during a given ignition cycle

and when adjusting the gain. This message is also displayed during

manual activation without a trailer connected or when gain

adjustments are made with no trailer connected.

• TBC GAIN = XX.X OUTPUT = //////: When the vehicle’s brake pedal

is pushed, or when the manual control is activated, bar indicators

illuminate in the instrument cluster message center to indicate the

amount of power going to the trailer brakes relative to the brake pedal

or manual control input. One bar indicates the least amount of output

with six bars indicating maximum output.

• TRAILER CONNECTED: This message is displayed when a correct

trailer wiring connection (a trailer with electric trailer brakes) has

been sensed during a given ignition cycle.
