A system and method for monitoring wheel hub temperatures and odometry in trailer axles. The system includes a spindle (), an inner bearing (), an outer bearing (), a wheel hub () engaging the spindle () via the inner and outer bearings (), a thermocouple () positioned within the spindle (), and an electronic control unit (). The electronic control unit () is electrically coupled to the thermocouple () and configured to receive from the thermocouple (), a temperature signal. The electronic control unit () is configured to determine, from the temperature signal, a temperature. The electronic control unit () is configured to compare the temperature to a predetermined threshold. The electronic control unit () is configured to, when the temperature exceeds the predetermined threshold, indicate a fault.

Systems and methods are described for a graphical vehicle cluster display that conveys vehicle acceleration information. A controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of vehicle acceleration. A substantially circular icon is displayed on the screen when the signal indicates that the acceleration is approximately zero in a forward direction. A stretched elliptic icon is display on the screen when the acceleration of the vehicle in a forward direction is greater than zero. A compressed elliptic icon is displayed on the screen when the acceleration of the vehicle in the forward direction is less than zero.
