Where is the ABS malfunction lamp for a trailer often located, in addition to any dash indication on equipped tractors?
- A.Inside the cargo compartment only
- B.On the trailer itself, commonly at the left rear side, so it can be seen during coupling and inspection
- C.On the fuel tank cap
- D.There is never a lamp on the trailer
Correct answer
B. On the trailer itself, commonly at the left rear side, so it can be seen during coupling and inspection
Why
Trailers built with ABS carry their own warning lamp because they may be pulled by different tractors. Checking that lamp during inspection helps catch a trailer ABS fault before the combination reaches the road.
