Abstract: A brake control unit includes a processor, a first high side driver and a second high side driver. The processor sends signals to the first high side driver and the second high side driver. The first and second high side drivers process the signals independent of each other. The processor diagnoses faults and locations of faults based on feedback from the high side drivers. The first high side driver controls the braking of a first trailer brake. The second high side driver controls the braking of a second trailer brake.

Abstract: A towed vehicle controller combines a trailer brake controller and lighting driver. The towed vehicle controller can include a trailer battery charging circuit. The towed vehicle controller operates towed vehicle braking, towed vehicle lighting and towed vehicle battery charge functions.

Abstract: A brake control unit generates an output signal to the brakes of a towed vehicle directly related to a variety of input signals sent from the towing vehicle, the towed vehicle, the operator, or a combination of any of the three. The brake control unit communicates input signals between a first module and a second module. The first module may include at least one manual input device. The second module may include power circuitry and a processor. The first module may communicate with the second module with LIN communication bus. The brake control unit may include a trailer brake gain switch attached with a steering wheel of a towing vehicle, a trailer brake manual override control attached with the steering wheel, and a brake control unit driver operatively coupled with the trailer brake gain switch and trailer brake manual override.
