Abstract
A trailer vehicle control system has a trailer electronic brake system ECU, which ECU is configured to receive a request, via a CAN bus, from a telematics unit or from a trailer access point. The trailer vehicle control system can verify a status or position of the trailer, in particular using ramp distance control. The trailer vehicle control system can then execute an annoyance feature in response to the request when the control system has determined that the status or position of the trailer meets a defined safe condition.
