Zusammenfassung:	617020 Disclosed is a wireless trailer brake control system (10) for communicating braking information between a tow vehicle and a trailer using wireless communication. The control system (10) is comprised of a tow vehicle controller (100) and a trailer sensing unit (200). The tow vehicle controller (100) includes a wireless transceiver and a multi-volt converter (120) for receiving power at multiple voltage levels. The trailer sensor unit (200) includes a trailer control module. The control module is comprised of a wireless transceiver, a multi-volt converter, an accelerometer and a microprocessor programmed to process information received from the tow vehicle controller (100) and the accelerometer. The trailer control module (200) is communicatively coupled to the trailer brake system (270) of the trailer.
