Abstract: A vehicle testing device and method are provided whereby a mechanic can easily test the pneumatic brake systems of a tractor-trailer. The device is used by inputting into the device the electrical and pneumatic outputs of a tractor and by outputting electrical and pneumatic transmissions from the device into a trailer. The device accepts input from a tractor and produces output to a trailer for testing purposes. The testing device is compact and portable and affords a mechanic a convenient tool for efficiently carrying out the necessary safety tests on both the tractor and trailer which may be physically connected or disconnected at the time the testing occurs.
