If the Tow-Pro Elite V2 or V3 displays one short blue flash followed by two green flashes, it indicates a start-up fault that typically occurs after reconnecting the trailer.
Towing should not be attempted while this fault is active, as it may cause unreliable trailer braking or brake light failure.
The fault can often be cleared with a soft reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the trailer plug, or with a hard reset by temporarily removing power from the Tow-Pro unit.
If the fault continues or reappears after reconnection, the unit may require a software update to prevent recurrence.
