A method for controlling the braking of a towed vehicle by a towing vehicle. The method includes receiving, at or by a brake actuator ECU, deceleration data of the towing vehicle and sensing, using a sensor, a longitudinal deceleration of the towed vehicle. The method also includes generating, at or by the brake actuator ECU, a brake signal based on the deceleration data and the longitudinal deceleration, sending the brake signal from the brake actuator ECU to an electric motor of a brake actuator of the towed vehicle, and applying, by the brake actuator, a hydraulic pressure to brakes of the towed vehicle based on the brake signal.
