A system for determining a pneumatic connection status of a trailer relative to a tractor includes a control unit for controlling the operation of a service brake valve and/or a parking brake valve; at least one acoustic sensor for detecting sounds and transmitting corresponding acoustic data; and a processing unit that is in data communication with the acoustic sensor for receiving the acoustic data. The processing unit is configured for processing the acoustic data and for determining a pneumatic connection status of the trailer at least on the basis of the acoustic data, wherein the at least one acoustic sensor is arranged at a trailer service brake control line of the tractor, between the service brake valve and a control line coupling head and/or at a trailer supply line of the tractor, between the parking brake valve and a supply line coupling head.
