Abstract
A system and method are provided for brake temperature estimation of a trailer. The incline of the surface along which the trailer is being towed is sensed, as well as a brake line pressure to the trailer and the speed. A braking count is derived from braking time periods and a downhill count is derived from downhill driving time periods. An indicator of the brake temperature is then based on the braking count and the downhill count.
