Towing 159 2. Hook up the trailer and make the electrical connections according to the trailer manufacturer's instructions. 3. When you plug in a trailer with electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes, TRAILER CONNECTED appears in the information display. 4. Use the gain adjustment (+ and -) buttons to increase or decrease the gain setting to the desired starting point. A gain setting of 6.0 is a good starting point for heavier loads. 5. In a traffic-free environment, tow the trailer on a dry, level surface at a speed of 20-25 mph (30-40 km/h) and squeeze the manual control lever completely. 6. If the trailer wheels lock up, indicated by squealing tires, reduce the gain setting. If the trailer wheels turn freely, increase the gain setting. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until the gain setting is at a point just below trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a heavier trailer, trailer wheel lock-up may not be attainable even with the maximum gain setting of 10. Explanation of Information Display Warning Messages Note: An authorized dealer can diagnose the trailer brake controller to determine exactly which trailer fault has occurred. However, your Ford warranty does not cover this diagnosis if the fault is with the trailer. TRAILER BRAKE MODULE FAULT: Displays in response to faults sensed by the trailer brake controller, accompanied by a single chime. If this message appears, contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair. The controller may still function, but performance may be degraded. WIRING FAULT ON TRAILER: Displays when there is a short circuit on the electric brake output wire. If the WIRING FAULT ON TRAILER message displays, accompanied by a single chime, with no trailer connected, the problem is with your vehicle wiring between the trailer brake controller and the 7-pin connector at the bumper. If the message only displays with a trailer connected, the problem is with the trailer wiring. Consult your trailer dealer for assistance. This can be a short to ground (such as a chaffed wire), short to voltage (such as a pulled pin on trailer emergency breakaway battery) or the trailer brakes may be drawing too much current. 2014 Econoline (eco) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)

Hook up the trailer and make the electrical connections according to

the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.

When you plug in a trailer with electric or electric-over-hydraulic

brakes,

TRAILER CONNECTED

appears in the information display.

Use the gain adjustment (+ and -) buttons to increase or decrease

the gain setting to the desired starting point. A gain setting of 6.0 is a

good starting point for heavier loads.

In a traffic-free environment, tow the trailer on a dry, level surface at

a speed of 20–25 mph (30–40 km/h) and squeeze the manual control

lever completely.

If the trailer wheels lock up, indicated by squealing tires, reduce the

gain setting. If the trailer wheels turn freely, increase the gain setting.

Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until the gain setting is at a point just below

trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a heavier trailer, trailer wheel lock-up

may not be attainable even with the maximum gain setting of 10.

Explanation of Information Display Warning Messages

Note:

An authorized dealer can diagnose the trailer brake controller to

determine exactly which trailer fault has occurred. However, your Ford

warranty does

not

cover this diagnosis if the fault is with the trailer.

TRAILER BRAKE MODULE FAULT:

Displays in response to faults

sensed by the trailer brake controller, accompanied by a single chime. If

this message appears, contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible

for diagnosis and repair. The controller may still function, but

performance may be degraded.

WIRING FAULT ON TRAILER:

Displays when there is a short circuit

on the electric brake output wire. If the

WIRING FAULT ON TRAILER

message displays, accompanied by a single chime, with no trailer

connected, the problem is with your vehicle wiring between the trailer

brake controller and the 7–pin connector at the bumper. If the message

only displays with a trailer connected, the problem is with the trailer

wiring. Consult your trailer dealer for assistance. This can be a short to

ground (such as a chaffed wire), short to voltage (such as a pulled pin

on trailer emergency breakaway battery) or the trailer brakes may be

drawing too much current.
