What does it mean when my Lippert Components Automobile Accessory unit is awake and monitoring for sway?
When your Lippert Components Automobile Accessory unit is awake and monitoring for sway, the green LED will briefly turn off every 5 seconds. This indicates that the unit is functional and actively monitoring.
What to do if my Lippert Components Controller shows Green, 5 Red?
If your Lippert Components Controller displays Green, 5 Red, it means low voltage has been detected. Verify that both the tow vehicle and tow battery are at 12 volts.
What does Green, 2 Red mean on my Lippert Components Controller?
If your Lippert Components Controller displays Green, 2 Red, it indicates a short to 12 volts has been detected. Verify that the blue brake wire is not shorted to 12 volts.
What does Green, 4 Red mean on my Lippert Components Controller?
If your Lippert Components Controller displays Green, 4 Red, it means a short to ground has been detected. Verify that the blue brake wire is not shorted to ground or the caravan frame.
What does Green, 3 Red mean on my Lippert Components Controller?
If your Lippert Components Controller displays Green, 3 Red, it indicates that it is not connected to the caravan brakes. To resolve this, verify that the blue brake wire is connected to the caravan brakes.
What does Green, Red, Repeat mean on my Lippert Components Controller?
If your Lippert Components Sway Command displays Green, Red, Repeat, it means that wake up self-checks are in progress. After a few seconds, the Sway Command will complete these checks and the light will turn green if the Sway Command is ready. If an issue is found, a flashing code will appear.
What to do if the Lippert Components Controller shows a Red Fast Blink?
If the Lippert Components Sway Command is not functional and displays a Red Fast Blink, disconnect the harness, wait 10 seconds, and then reconnect it. If the light then comes on solid red, unplug the Sway Command.
What does it mean if my Lippert Components Controller is Off?
If your Lippert Components Sway Command is off, it could be due to two reasons. First, the Sway Command may be in a low power state and not active, in which case you should activate the tow vehicle brake to wake it up. Second, the Sway Command may not be connected to a DC 12V power supply, so you should verify the wiring.
What to do if the Lippert Components Controller shows a Red Solid light?
If the Lippert Components Sway Command is not functional and shows a Red Solid light, disconnect the harness, wait 10 seconds, and then reconnect the harness.
What to do if my Lippert Components Automobile Accessory unit is not powered?
If your Lippert Components Automobile Accessory unit isn't powering on, there are a couple of things you can check: * The unit might be in a low power state. Try activating the tow vehicle brake to wake it. * The unit may not be properly connected to the DC 12V power supply. Double-check the wiring to ensure it's correctly connected.

The Sway Command 1.5 by Trailair (Jayco)(AU) is a self-contained caravan stability control module designed to enhance towing safety by mitigating undesirable caravan movement. This system utilizes external sensors to detect excessive caravan sway and then adaptively applies a variable braking voltage to the left and right electric caravan brakes. This action helps to dampen the sway and slow the caravan down, providing a more stable and controlled towing experience.
The core function of the Sway Command system is to actively monitor and correct caravan sway. When the integrated sensors detect movement that exceeds a predetermined threshold, the system automatically activates. It then applies precise, proportional voltage to the caravan's electric brakes. This intelligent braking action is designed to counteract the sway, bringing the caravan back into a stable state. The system operates autonomously, meaning it continuously monitors and responds to sway events without direct input from the tow vehicle operator once installed and powered.
A key aspect of its operation is the communication with the tow vehicle operator through a light pod. When excessive sway is detected and the system activates the brakes, the light pod will blink red. This visual cue alerts the driver that the Sway Command system is actively working to stabilize the caravan. The driver may also feel the caravan brakes activate during these events, further confirming the system's operation. The braking action continues until the sway is effectively dampened, at which point the system returns to a monitoring state.
The Sway Command controller is designed to be water-resistant, allowing it to withstand typical outdoor conditions encountered during caravan travel. However, it is important to note that it is not waterproof and should not be submerged or subjected to high-pressure water sprays, as this could lead to damage and void the warranty.
The Sway Command system is designed for straightforward integration into a caravan's existing electrical and braking infrastructure. Installation involves mounting the controller module and a light pod, and connecting the necessary wiring harnesses.
While the Sway Command system is largely self-contained and automatic in its operation, certain aspects of its installation and monitoring contribute to its long-term reliability and performance.
