on the newer trucks (or older for that matter) when you are coming up on a weigh station and you go under that bar that has the funky looking camera thing - does it "brake check" you - this truck has never done anything like this up till then and hasn't again ... but when I went under that bar it like slammed on the brakes ... it didn't lock them up but warnings came on the dash but all the gauges looked good air wise

Brake system sensors are thermal and low level looking for the hot or cold wheel among all the warm [working] ones.

Just wait til ur driving on a nice sunny day in the middle of nowhere, with Nobody or anything around and that auto brake puts you thru the windshield.. Useless invention.

I think it’s just coincidence that it happened to trigger at the weigh station. It happens from time to time. Sometimes mine will activate the brakes when I get a collision warning and sometimes it doesn’t. I haven’t figured out why it only brakes some of the time.
