COMPATIBILITY

The #9107B Electric Brake Force Meter with Dynamic Load Simulation

and Circuit Testing is designed to work with most all year/make/model

vehicles equipped with 7-spade trailer connections including newer Ford

and GM vehicles. If you suspect the Electric Brake Force Meter does not

work with your application, please call us at 845-679-4500.

INTRODUCTION

The#9107B Electric Brake Force Meteris a professional, high-quality tool

that allows you to test the electric brake controller output and all tow-lighting

functions without a trailer present.

PRECAUTIONARY EXPLANATION

Before testing, it’s important to note that there are several different methods

utilized by OEMs for establishing connections to trailers and automatically

adjusting gain. In most cases, each OEM takes their own approach to the

design and function of Electric Trailer Brake Controllers. Additionally, the

OEM’s methods have evolved over the years. Never assume that any two

makes or different year models will act the same way. For example, some

controllers limit output gain unless the vehicle is moving. Others limit output

gain unless the vehicle’s sensors detect heavy braking under load while

moving. Some others allow full output for a short period of time and then limit

the output until the vehicle is moving. The purpose of this tool is to allow you

to view the output of the vehicle in real time without a trailer present.

PRETEST SET-UP

(MUST FOLLOW EACH USE!)

NOTICE: Brake Force Meter with Dynamic Load Simulation and Circuit

Testing will not function unless Tail/Tag or 12V Aux Circuits have

constant power.If your vehicle does not supply 12V Aux at the trailer

connector, leave parking lights on while testing.

WARNING: SET-UP MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE ATTACHING CABLE.

WARNING: WHEN TESTING IN CAB, DO NOT PINCH CABLE IN

WINDOW OR DOOR.

SET-UP

1. With the meter disconnected from the cable, plug the 7-way connector

into the back of the vehicle.

2. Bring the other end of the cable and the tester into the driver's

compartment, leaving the tester disconnected.

3. Set the emergency brake.

4. Turn the vehicle engine ON and let it idle.

5. KEEP FOOT OFF BRAKE. ONLY AFTER engine is running, plug the 9-pin

connector into the socket of the tester and lightly tighten the thumb screws.

6. Verify the 12V circuit is powered or turn on the Tail/Tag circuit.

7. Wait for the yellow ECU detection light to stop blinking.

8. For vehicles equipped with integrated controllers, look for the words

"Trailer Connected" on your instrument panel and the ECU Detection

light to remain steady within a few seconds of connecting the #9107B

to a vehicle with the engine running.

9. Set-up is now complete.

ALTERNATIVE SET-UP PROCEDURE

In 2016 and 2017 models, some OEMs changed the way the brake controllers

search for a trailer signal. If the basic method described in the set-up procedure

does not establish a “Trailer Connected” message with these vehicles, press

and hold the brake pedal during step 7.

TESTING

1. With the #9107B connected and the engine running, increase the brake

force adjustment on the instrument panel to maximum output (usually 10).

2. Without applying pressure to the brake pedal, operate the manual brake

lever on the controller and take note of the number of LEDs that illuminate.

It is recommended to maintain application for up to 20 seconds and

observe any changes.

3. Release the manual brake lever and apply moderate pressure to the brake

pedal. Observe the series of 10 LEDs at the top of the tester as they

sequentially illuminate. This indicates the extent of 12V power available at

the connector to actuate trailer brakes.

4. While increasing brake pressure, you should see more of the 10 LED

indicators illuminate. Some vehicles or brake controllers may limit output

with brake pedal pressure, unless the vehicle is moving.

5. Release the brake pedal. If any abnormal results were noted, continue to

Circuit Fault Troubleshooting on page 6.

6. Test other lighting and electrical functions such as Left and Right Turn

Signals, Tail/Tag, Brake Lights etc.

WARNING: To avoid overheating, DO NOT hold foot on brake for

intervals longer than 15 seconds.

NOTE: The Ground Integrity light will only illuminate when a circuit is

completed. In other words, if you are only testing left or right directional

circuits, you may notice the Ground Integrity light ashing in sequence with

the directional. This is normal and expected.

NOTICE REGARDING 2019 AND NEWER VEHICLES

Some late model vehicles feature a module which monitors and controls

power to all of the trailer circuits. These modules are typically powered from

the 12V hot lead, which may be labeled as "Trailer Battery" in the fuse box.

When troubleshooting these vehicles, rst check to see if the 12V LED on the

tool is illuminated prior to troubleshooting. If the LED is not illuminated on the

tool, check the vehicle’s fuse and wire connections.

With the 12V power on, the tool will energize and immediately default into

Trailer Simulation mode. Watch the LEDs on the tool and allow the vehicle’s

computer to complete its start-up/system status check sequence prior to

testing. This start-up sequence can be monitored by watching the LED lights

on the tool icker on and off in sequence. The entire start-up sequence

should take less than 30 seconds.

ECU DETECTION LIGHT

The ECU Detected light indicates when the Electric Brake Force Meter

detects a discovery pulse signal from the vehicle being tested. Modern

vehicles with integrated controllers, as well as some aftermarket controllers,

limit output to the Trailer Electric Brake circuit (blue wire) until they determine

a trailer is connected. The way they determine this is by sending out a

small amount of power and monitoring the load. The Electric Brake Force

Meter looks for this trailer discovery pulse, and when it detects the pulse,

commands the ECU Detected light to illuminate. Once the Electric Brake

Force Meter determines the presence of the discovery pulse, it adjusts its

built-in trailer simulation load accordingly.

If the ECU Detected light does not illuminate even though the vehicle is

equipped with a modern brake controller, this indicates a faulty brake control

module or relay, poor wire connection, or a blown fuse in the vehicle.

CIRCUIT FAULT TROUBLESHOOTING

When a circuit fault has been detected, the #9107B can monitor individual

circuits while troubleshooting and repairing the vehicle.
