Nah, I don't think so. All the controller does is check continuity through the magnets. It doesn't know anything about brake shoe adjustment. I suspect that in adjusting the brakes you also managed to wiggle a poor electrical connection. Which means it is likely to come back.
But I could be wrong.

The trailer shop that adjusted the brakes told me that is has something to do with the resistance. I put over 1500 miles on and no more problems.

This is correct. That's what I said about checking continuity through the magnets. But adjusting them had nothing to do with the repair. They checked and repaired your connections, which is part of any good brake service.
