Innovative Products Of America - 9107A Electric Brake Force Meter w/Dynamic Load Simulation and Circuit Testing Black

Tried an inexpensive 7 blade trailer socket tester but the truck would not recognize the tester as a trailer when brake was applied even though it seemed to work when the tester was first plugged in. So, I bought this unit and it recognizes the ecu and applies a load. The truck now recognizes the new tester as a trailer and I can test all functions including braking.

The resources that have been available to diagnose the COMPLETE and proper operation of a 7-way blade trailer connector by the average trailer owner (and repairs shops) have been very limited until the availability of this product. This tool takes into account the many different "operational theories" that different OEM's utilize to manage their 7- way trailer output signals. These theories may also vary by model-year with the same OEM. The two most valuable qualities are: 1) The ability to verify the "gain" when (IF) this adjustment is available, and also 2) The "sync" or the precise moment the trailer brakes are applied in proportion to when the brakes of the power unit power are applied (also IF available). Depending on your power unit (vehicle) AND / OR the aftermarket controller, these two critical user adjustable qualities MAY or MAY NOT not be available. In addition, most aftermarket controllers utilize either a "time delay" or "proportional" design to apply the brake signal to the trailer which, in some cases, can be adjustable by the driver. As such, there are numerous values to measure and validate at the trailer electrical connection. THIS TOOL DOES IT ALL, including the basic diagnosis of lights and other signals, including the valuable "auxiliary" signal when used. NOW the vehicle owner can verify a simple "yes / no" for the different fixed or variable signals that are coming from their 7-way blade type "socket" on their vehicle and also SIMULATE & ADJUST any variable attributes. BE SURE to follow the SIMPLE set-up instructions including any cautionary warnings. NOW YOU CAN BE SURE of EXACTLY what is going on. BRAVO for another QUALITY independent American product ! ! ! (my video will be posted soon)

It was kinda hard to justify the cost verses the amount of times I will probably use the tool, but in the long runit did save me time rather than just throwing parts at the issue. Worth the purchase.

Works like a charm. Was able to shoot the problem of a customer's vehicle to his turn signals specifically. His breaks worked fine. Lights are bright and easily seen in bright sunlight. Cable is plenty long to reach from tow hitch to driver on long bed crew cab truck.There are 10 lights for break sensitivity. 13 lights would be good to align with the voltage range, or maybe a voltage readout. Feels a bit cheep and light for extensive use in auto mechanic areas. Thicker plastic would be nice and rubber corners to protect from dropping it.

Works very well. I am a Ford Technician and have been on the hunt for a tool to simulate trailers on Fords new trucks. This does the trick perfectly! Only complaint I have is the LEDS are crazy bright so bright that I have to hold it sideways.

Great tool! I own a mobile fleet repair business some of my customers have pickups and medium duty trucks that pull trailers. This tool makes testing brake modules and trailer functions a snap. In my world time is money and this shaves that part of the inspection by 80%.

Use it on a weekly for diagnostics and works amazingly never had a issue!

Bought one of the $10 7-pin testers to diagnose trailer brake issues on a 2017 F350. The cheap tester didn't help with 12v to the trailer, nor the trailer brakes themselves. Due to the nature of how vehicles have changed, I needed a more complex tester to verify the truck was not the issue.Took me less than 5 minutes after receiving this item to determine the trailer is the issue and the truck is throwing both 12v and trailer brake signals through the 7-pin. Very easy to use and simulates a trailer perfectly on the F350! Thank you!
