2014 FORD F150 buttons

The controller shows gain setting, output
bar graph, and trailer connectivity status
in the information display. They appear in
the information display as follows:
•
TBC GAIN = XX.X NO TRAILER:
Shows the current gain setting during
a given ignition cycle and when
adjusting the gain. This also displays if
you use the manual control lever or
make gain adjustments with no trailer
connected.
• TBC GAIN = XX.X OUTPUT=/ / / /
/ /: Displays when you push your
vehicle's brake pedal, or upon use of
the manual control. Bar indicators
illuminate in the information display to
indicate the amount of power going to
the trailer brakes relative to the brake
pedal or manual control input. One bar
indicates the least amount of output;
six bars indicate maximum output.
• TRAILER CONNECTED:
Displays
when the system senses a correct
trailer wiring connection (a trailer with
electric trailer brakes) during a given
ignition cycle.
• TRAILER DISCONNECTED:
Displays,
accompanied by a single audible time,
when the system senses a trailer
connection and then a disconnection,
either intentional or unintentional,
during a given ignition cycle. It also
displays if a truck or trailer-wiring fault
occurs causing the trailer to appear
disconnected. This message can also
display if you use the manual control
lever without a trailer connected.
Procedure for Adjusting Gain
Note: Only perform this procedure in a
traffic-free environment at speeds of
approximately 20-25 mph (30-40 km/h). The gain setting sets the trailer brake
controller for the specific towing condition.
You should change the setting as towing
conditions change. Changes to towing
conditions include trailer load, vehicle load,
road conditions and weather.
The gain should be set to provide the
maximum trailer braking assistance while
making sure the trailer wheels do not lock
when using the brakes. Locked trailer
wheels may lead to trailer instability.
1.
Make sure the trailer brakes are in good
working condition, functioning normally
and properly adjusted. See your trailer
dealer if necessary.
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.
