Abstract: A trailer diagnostic and monitoring system includes a system controller having a controller body, and a power unit for engage a wiring harness of the trailer. A location identification unit and wireless communication device are positioned within the controller body, and a plurality of hub sensor assemblies are positioned along the axle hubs of the trailer. Each of the assemblies including functionality for monitoring and reporting the temperature of a respective axle hub, and the pressure of the trailer tire secured to the respective axle hub. A process specific serial forwarder device communicatively links each of the hub sensor assemblies to the system controller. A trailer diagnostic and monitoring application for execution on a remote computing device includes functionality for communicating with the wireless communication device to receive trailer location information, tire pressure readings and axle hub temperatures.
