Abstract: Electronic control units, vehicles, and methods for controlling trailer brake output circuits based on vehicle wheel ABS statuses are disclosed. An electronic control unit for controlling a trailer brake output circuit based on vehicle wheel ABS statuses is configured to determine a first vehicle wheel ABS status, determine a second vehicle wheel ABS status, and control the trailer brake output circuit based on the first vehicle wheel ABS status and the second vehicle wheel ABS status. The first vehicle wheel ABS status is indicative of whether braking of a first vehicle wheel is being controlled in accordance with a vehicle ABS mode. The second vehicle wheel ABS status is indicative of whether braking of a second vehicle wheel is being controlled in accordance with the vehicle ABS mode.

Abstract: A mounting device with an anti-rotation feature is provided. The mounting device includes a base including a cavity adapted to receive a portion of a shock absorber assembly. The base provides for movement of the shock absorber assembly relative to a vehicle body in at least one degree of freedom. The base substantially prevents movement of the shock absorber assembly relative to the vehicle body in at least another degree of freedom. The mounting device includes a pin integrated with the base on a side distal from the cavity. The pin is substantially parallel to an axis of the shock absorber assembly. The pin is adapted to engagingly couple to one or more cushions and a vehicle frame.

Abstract: A system for controlling a trailer brake output circuit includes an input device outputting a signal in response to receiving an input from a user, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit includes one or more processors, one or more memory modules, the trailer brake output circuit outputting a trailer brake output signal, and machine readable instructions. The electronic control unit receives the signal from the input device, limits the trailer brake output signal to a first value when the trailer brake output circuit outputs the trailer brake output signal in response to the signal received from the input device, and limits the trailer brake output signal to a second value when the trailer brake output circuit outputs the trailer brake output signal not in response to the signal received from the input device. The second value is smaller than the first value.

Abstract: A stabilizer bar assembly for an automotive vehicle includes a stabilizer bar, a bushing mounted to the stabilizer bar, and a support ring mounted onto the stabilizer bar adjacent the bushing to provide a stop to prevent the bushing from moving axially along the stabilizer bar. The support ring has a plurality of inwardly extending projections. Each of the inwardly extending projections has a distal end in contact with an outer surface of the stabilizer bar. The distal ends of the inwardly extending projections are welded to the outer surface of the stabilizer bar to secure the support ring onto the stabilizer bar.

Abstract: A stabilizer bar for an automotive vehicle includes a stabilizer bar, and a generally ring shaped first mechanical stop mounted onto and extending about an outer diameter of the stabilizer bar. The first mechanical stop is crimped in place onto the stabilizer bar such that the first mechanical stop is positioned within a groove formed within the outer diameter of the stabilizer bar as the first mechanical stop is crimped onto the stabilizer bar, whereby the first mechanical stop is retained within the groove to prevent movement of the mechanical stop along the stabilizer bar.
