CHECKING THE WIRING AND TERMINALS
- Disconnect any connection from the socket for the tow hitch connector.
- Ignition off.
- Cut off voltage feed to Trailer module (TRM) by removing the battery's minus cable.
- Disconnect the connector for the Trailer module (TRM).
- Disconnect the connector from the vehicle's left tail light. Check connectors for damage to pins and connections. Check the connectors. Check for loose connections. Check for contact resistance. Check for oxidation. Check the lead for open circuit or short-circuiting to ground. Take readings between: Trailer module (TRM) #C2:3(#24) and the connector for the vehicle's left tail light #C1:6. The vehicle's left tail light #C1:6 and central electronic module (CEM) C2:59. Remedy as necessary.

- Ignition off. Check fuses. Check the cable harness and connectors. Check the battery voltage. Check the charging function of the generator (GEN). Disconnect the connector for the Trailer module (TRM). Check voltage feed and ground connection for Trailer module (TRM). HINT: Also perform a check of the cable resistance across the cable harness from rear relay and fuse box to Trailer module (TRM). Check voltage feed and ground connection for Central electronic module (CEM). Remedy as necessary.
