Introduction
The Sway Command® system is a self-contained caravan stability control module that detects undesirable
caravan movement from external sensors and mitigates it by adaptively applying a variable braking voltage
to the left and right caravan electric brakes.
The Sway Command® system uses sensors to detect excessive caravan sway. The system activates
automatically and applies voltage proportional to the amount of sway detected to the electric caravan
brakes. This dampens the sway and slows the caravan down. When excessive sway is detected, the light pod
will blink red and the tow vehicle operator may feel the caravan brakes activate until the sway is dampened.

in this manual.
Resources Required
• Cordless or electric drill or screw gun
• Drive socket for a #14 hex self-drilling screw
• 5.5 mm drill bit
• Impact driver
• Torque wrench (Nm)
• Looming material
• Black saddle
• #14 - 10 x 25 mm hex self-drilling screw
(corrosion resistant) (4)
• M6 x 11.0 x 0.7 external serrated washer (4)
• M8 x 25 mm square head wood screws (2)
• M8 x 18 x 12 mm self-drilling pan head screws (2)
• Paint marker/grease pencil
• EOL Vehicle Simulator box
Do not submerge the caravan. The Sway command is not designed to be submerged under water
(Water Crossing). Extended submersion could cause Non-Warrantable damage.
Never drill into the Sway Command controller or compromise the pressure equalizer plug hole on
the back of the controller. Doing so voids the warranty and could damage the controller.
The Sway Command controller is water-resistant, but not waterproof. Do not spray high pressure
water directly at the controller.
All electrical wiring harnesses shall be loomed and secured to prevent possible damage and
installed in accordance with best shop practices.

Installation
Mounting Controller
The provided Sway Command controller module (Fig. 1) will be fitted within 152 mm (6 inches) of the
centerline of the chassis, and to the right side of the center rail on the chassis, at the front of the chassis
frame (Fig. 2A).
The controller must be mounted in a level condition, centered on the crossmember, and according to the
orientation arrow on the label (Fig. 4A).
Note: The controller MUST be mounted facing the rear of the caravan (Fig. 2). The controller will not
operate correctly if mountedimproperly.

1. The controller (Fig. 1) must be mounted to a frame crossmember between 1219 mm - 3048 mm
(4ft-10 ft) behind the hitch point (Fig. 3A).

Fig. 4
2. Prior to the floor being placed on the chassis, place the housing against the mounting surface. Use a
paint marker or grease pencil to locate the four mounting holes for the Sway Commandmodule (Fig. 4B).
3. Using a drill with the 5.5 mm drill bit, drill pilot holes through the crossmember at the four previously
markedlocations. Clear all chips from the mountingsurface.

4. After the holes have been drilled, insert M6 x 11.0 x 0.7 serrated external lock washers over each
#14 - 10 x 25 mm self-drilling hex screw.
5. Insert assembled screws into the module as follows:
A. Insert one screw into the module and tighten half way to hold the module in place.
B. Insert a second screw into the opposite corner from the previously installed screw and tighten half
way into the module to hold the module in place.
C. Insert a third screw into the open hole on the opposite end from the previously installed screw
and tighten half way into the module.
D. Insert the fourth screw into the remaining open hole and tighten half way into the module.

6. Using an impact driver, securely fasten all screws using a crisscross pattern (Fig. 4) until screw heads
are nearly flush against the lock washers.
7. Torque screws 10 - 12 Nm in the crisscross pattern shown in figure (Fig. 4).
8. Make sure the controller is level (parallel) with the front crossmember of the caravan frame.
9. Make sure controller orientation is correct (Fig. 4).
Sway Command Wiring
All electrical wiring harnesses shall be loomed and secured to prevent possible damage and
installed in accordance with best shop practices.
The wiring harness (OEM-provided) can be routed at any time before post-installation testing, but can only
be plugged into the brake loom after the brake loom has been routed.
Note: All wiring connections should be made at the caravan junction box according to local codes. LCI
recommends the use of a 20A user-replaceable/sealed fuse between the junction box power
connection and the black Sway Commandpowerconnection.
1. Plug the Sway Command loom into the axle loom connector.
2. Route the wiring harness from the controller module connector location to the front of the chassis
frame where the controller module is mounted.
3. Secure the wiring harness every 300 mm (12 inches) to the vertical rail.
4. After the floor has been installed, but prior to testing, install an OEM-provided black saddle with two
OEM-provided M8 x 18 x 12 mm self-drilling pan head screws to fasten the cable against thefloor.
Note: Excess wiring shall be coiled up and secured within the rail such that it will not hang loose.
5. Insert the OEM-provided harness plug into the controller module's connector until it clicks
intoposition.
Sway Command Light Pod Mounting
The light pod should be mounted in a location that can be easily seen by the tow vehicle operator. If the
light pod is mounted to the A-frame of the caravan (Fig. 5), make sure it is mounted on the driver’s side of
the caravan for clear visibility. Optionally, the light pod can be mounted to the outside, front wall of the
caravan (Fig.6) and positioned for visibility by the tow vehicle operator.
Note: The light pod can be fastened to the A-frame at any time, but can only be connected after the
A-frame loom has been routed.
Mounting the light pod on the A-frame:
1. Determine the proper mounting location for the light pod.
2. Fasten the light pod (Fig. 5A) in place next to the A-frame loom hole (Fig. 5B) with two
M8 x 18 x 12 mm self-drilling pan head screws (Fig. 5C).

3. Connect the light pod to the OEM-provided electrical harness through the A-frame loom hole.
Note: The light pod wiring and connection point can be coiled into the cavity on the backside of the light
pod for a cleaner appearance, if preferred.
Mounting the light pod on a caravan wall:
1. Determine the proper mounting location for the light pod.
2. Attach the light pod (Fig. 6A) to the caravan wall with two M8 x 25 mm square head wood screws.
3. Connect the light pod to the OEM-provided main harness.
4. Make sure all wall penetrations are sealed to prevent water infiltration.
All electrical wiring harnesses shall be loomed and secured to prevent possible damage and
installed in accordance with best shop practices.

Testing the System
During the end-of-line (EOL) test phase, the OEM-provided Vehicle Simulator Box will be connected to
thecaravan. Do as follows:
1. Turn the Auxiliary supply on—the LED will turn green if the system is operating correctly. The LED will
blink every five seconds. This is normal.
Note: Refer to the Light Code and Troubleshooting tables for additional information.
