Towing large trailers hinders your ability to stop quickly. Protect the investment you made in your trailer and vehicle with the Agility trailer brake control.

The Agility is a proportional brake controller, meaning the trailer decelerates at the same rate as the vehicle. This not only makes for the smoothest of stops but also the most efficient. If both truck and trailer are stopping at the same rate then the truck (or the trailer) brakes are not getting over worked and will therefore last longer. Brakes will also not be overheated after driving through traffic no power will be sent to the trailer brakes when the rig is stopped.

The Agility is designed for use with electric trailer brakes. It is not designed to operate with electric-hydraulic brake systems.

The error code chart is not available in the instructions for the Agility (linked below) that you have referenced, but my contact stated that the Agility should not have an E error message. However, both the Impulse and the Reliance can have an E message. This just indicates that the trailer is not connected.

• E1 Code Displayed on Hopkins Impulse Brake Controller # HM47294 When No Trailer Is Connected
  
• The E1 Error code on the Hopkins Impulse Brake Controller # HM47294, indicates that there is no trailer connection.

If you do not have a Chevrolet truck, or the pin is inserted in the correct position for yo
