Brake controller with Stabilitrak?
I just upgraded my TV - actually didn't upgrade for the towing capacity but because I ran out of seats in my Safari, but either way we bought a 2007 Chevy Express 3500. It has the tow package, so it'...
Forum Discussion
The acceleratorometer(s) might not understand the different levels
of sway...to then 'try' to null it with braking of one or more wheels
As with all things...it is to do with the worst case, not the best
or good days out there
Most who have gone to the now bankrupt MC PSI sensed, generally did
not have their aftermarket brake controller adjusted correctly or well
Will the TV's anti-sway system know that it is just the trailer
brakes lagging in braking...so it bumps the TV's ball?...etc, etc
Now that most of the TV OEMs have optional trailer brake controllers
integrated in...wonder what the effect of an after market controller
will do to the system...
Why suggested to the OP to contact the OEM of the after market
controller.
As the TV OEM most likely will NOT provide as detailed or good
an answer
As more and more TV OEMs move to centralized I/O assemblies to have
something like the brake pedal switch no longer providing power
to the lights...but...via that I/O assembly...will the signal source
to the brake pedal have enough juice to also signal the after
market controller?
It 'should', but we are talking TV OEMs who go to great lengths to
save an inch on a wiring harness...AKA "pinching pennies"...
Or the OP could consider the expensive after market controller that
tapes into the TV's network via the diagnostic port...that will
then play with the computer via signal levels that is managed
by that computer...
