ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A FIFTH WHEEL HITCH

摘要

An electronic system that includes a trailer sensor, a lock sensor and a control circuit determines whether a trailer hitch assembly is properly coupled to a trailer. The trailer sensor senses the position of the trailer relative to the trailer hitch assembly and the lock sensor senses the position of the locking mechanism. The control circui t is coupled to the trailer sensor and the lock sensor and and masks an output of the lock sensor for a first predetermined stabilization period after the control circuit initially determines that the trailer hitch assembly is properly coupled to the trailer.
