REMOTE CONTROL OF SLIDING TRAILER SUSPENSION LOCK PINS

摘要

A trailer sliding suspension is remotely controlled to move between locked and unlocked positions. To unlock the sliding suspension, the driver initiates generation of a first signal which is communicated to an electronic control unit of a trailer anti-lock brake system. The electronic control unit then generates an unlocking signal in response to the first signal to unlock the sliding suspension such that a position of the sliding position can be adjusted relative to a trailer supported by the sliding suspension. Once the sliding suspension is in the desired position, the driver generates a second signal which is communicated to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit then generates a locking signal in response to the second signal to lock the sliding suspension to a trailer body rail.
