Status Light Module Installation

Once wiring is completed, route the Status Light cable to the front of the caravan/
trailer. Then mount the Status Light module onto a flat surface on the drawbar of the 
caravan/trailer using self-tapping screws. 
Select a location that makes it easy to see the Status Light when looking at the front of 
the caravan/trailer.

Figure 9:

Troubleshooting with the Status Light

WARNING

When the caravan/trailer is not moving, every 60 seconds the 

GREEN

 light will 

turn off for two seconds, then turn back on. This is normal and indicates normal 
operation of the 

SwayControl.

If your notice the 

GREEN

 light turning off and on every 60 seconds and the caravan/

trailer is moving, have your 

SwayControl

 checked by your local service centre.

SWAYCONTROL SELF DIAGNOSTICS

The 

SwayControl

 performs a self-

diagnostic test every time it “wakes-
up” upon receiving a signal from the 
brake controller in the tow vehicle. The 
Status Light may flash 

RED

 and 

GREEN

 

approximately six times on start-up then 
go 

GREEN

.

Once in operation, the 

SwayControl

 

continually monitors the system for 
faults. If the system is operating properly 
and no fault is detected, the 

GREEN

 light 

will remain on and flicker or pulse.

If the 

SwayControl

 detects a fault in the system, the Status Light will turn 

RED

 and the 

fault may be diagnosed from the 

RED

 Status Light flash sequence. The 

SwayControl

 

continues checking the fault status and the 

RED

 Status Light will continue to flash until 

the fault is corrected. Once the fault has been corrected, the 

GREEN

 light returns.

For more information, refer to 

Troubleshooting with the Status Light.
