ABS Fault Detection
Know About Brake Faults Before the Trailer Leaves the Yard
An ABS warning light should not become a roadside surprise.
ABS Fault Detection, part of XTRA Intelligence, alerts fleets when an active ABS fault is detected on an equipped trailer. The system provides the OEM diagnostic code, identifies the fault, and delivers the manufacturer's recommended repair procedure directly through myXTRA.
That means maintenance teams can understand the problem and plan the repair before the trailer is dispatched.
ABS Fault Detection is included on equipped XTRA Lease trailers at no additional cost.
Turn an ABS Warning into Actionable Maintenance Intelligence
Traditional pre-trip inspections remain an essential part of safe trailer operation. XTRA Intelligence strengthens that process by giving fleet managers and maintenance teams earlier visibility into active ABS faults.
Instead of waiting for a driver, technician, or DOT inspector to discover the warning light, fleets can receive information about the issue while the trailer is still in the yard.
Identify ABS Faults Earlier
XTRA Intelligence monitors the trailer's ABS system and alerts the appropriate team when a fault is detected.
That earlier warning gives fleets more time to respond before the trailer is dispatched, helping avoid preventable roadside delays and interruptions.
Know What Needs Attention
An alert should do more than tell you that something is wrong.
ABS Fault Detection provides the OEM diagnostic code and fault description through myXTRA. Maintenance teams can see what triggered the warning and better understand what needs to be inspected or repaired.
Receive Recommended Repair Guidance
Along with the diagnostic information, myXTRA provides the ABS manufacturer's recommended repair procedure.
That means technicians can begin with more useful information, prepare for the repair, and spend less time diagnosing the issue from scratch.
Plan Repairs Before Dispatch
A fault discovered in the yard can be handled on your schedule. A fault discovered on the road can mean driver downtime, service calls, missed appointments, and costly disruption.
Earlier visibility helps maintenance and operations teams coordinate repairs before the trailer is assigned to its next move.
Support Safer, More Compliant Operations
ABS Fault Detection does not replace required pre-trip inspections or good maintenance practices. It strengthens them.
By helping fleets identify and address ABS faults sooner, XTRA Intelligence can support safer dispatch decisions, reduce avoidable delays, and help prevent small problems from becoming expensive roadside events.
How ABS Fault Detection Works
