A device (1) for testing pneumatically operated brakes of a first vehicle (22) and of a second vehicle (23) being connected and having interconnected brake systems. A device supply line (3b) and a device control line (4b) are arranged for convection to respective corresponding supply and control lines (3a, 3c, 4a, 4c) in the vehicles such that the device (1) is fluidly connected into and between the brake system of the first vehicle (22) and the brake system of the second vehicle (23). A first valve means (9) is operable for temporarily and releasably connecting the device supply line (3b) to the device control line (4b), whereby braking action may be effected on the second vehicle (23) via a second vehicle control line (4c), independently of the braking action on the first vehicle (22). A second valve means (10) is operable for temporarily and releasably blocking the device control line (4b), whereby braking action may be effected on the first vehicle (22) without effecting braking action on the second vehicle (23). A method of activating the brakes (5) of a trailer unit (23) which is connected to a tractor unit (22), without activating the brakes of the tractor unit (22), and by means of the device (1), comprises remotely activating the first valve means (9) in order to provide braking action.
