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.
