Tow-Pro Elite Red Flashing Fault Code

Flashing red Tow-Pro Elite fault code explained

REDARC's Tow-Pro Elite, Australia’s favourite brake controller, has recently had some software updates to ensure it continues to set the benchmark for brake controllers in the industry. These updates are designed to keep you on the road as safe and as informed as possible.

If you are using an AL-KO iQ7 braking system, the Tow Pro Elite can indicate a fault of the hydraulic/pneumatic system by flashing a red on/off/on/off sequence via the remote head LED. Please check for faults in brake lines and electrical supply to the pneumatic pump according to the manual for the iQ7 brake actuator.

If you do not have one of the AL-KO systems fitted to your trailer, this code can be triggered by a poor earth connection to either your trailer socket or for the control module.

If you have this code flashing, it is recommended to assess the earth wiring on PIN 3 of your trailer socket/plug and controller to make sure the there is a suitable and sound earth connection.

This error code can also be triggered by a poor earth connection on an Anderson plug or PIN 10 on the bottom row a 12 PIN trailer plug.
