Troubleshooting Intermittent Curt Echo Brake Controller Trailer Connection Error Code
Question:
When I see trailer disconnected does that mean Bluetooth or power to the brakes? It usually reconnects in seconds. I understand if Bluetooth is lost you still have brakes but what does that error message mean Bluetooth or power?

If you are seeing a message that says trailer disconnected that would mean that the Echo # C51180 is not connected to the trailer at all and would not be able to control the brakes. If this is an intermittent issue then most likely it's just a bit of corrosion on the pins of your trailer connector that is preventing the connection from being made. Typically just taking some sandpaper to the pins of the connectors fixes this issue.
