Abstract
A first processor is connected to a first filter on a tractor and receives at least one control signal from at least one vehicle control. The first processor communicates the control signal to the trailer component. A second processor is connected to a second filter on a trailer. The second filter is interconnected between the second processor and the trailer component. A sensor on the trailer is connected to the second processor and generates a sensor signal. A wiring harness communicates with the first filter and the vehicle control on the tractor and with the second filter and the trailer component. The wiring harness has common wires that carry the control signal from the first filter to the trailer component via the second filter. The common wires carry the sensor signal transformed by the second processor from the second filter to the first processor via the first filter.
