I had a similar problem with my 8600, trailer ABS would light on the cluster when hammering hard bumps sometimes. Everything checked out fine.
Only thing I could come up with was it was one of the wheel sensor position at the time.

Just when applying the brakes, it is hit and miss... A light foot, no light, heavy, not a panic stop, just hard application like on a short get off ramp and she lights up, along with the trailer ABS light in the rear view mirror.

It could be something in the trailer wiring. Worst case, the trailer abs doesn't work.
Remember when we didn't have ABS? I think we'll survive.

Does the trailer abs exterior light up, self check when you key on?
That's what DOT looks for.
As long as that self checks, run it and keep drilling.
I make every effort to run it as designed, to a point.
