Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The trailer brake control will be disabled for the remainder of the ignition cycle.

* The driver information center (DIC) will display Service Trailer Brake System.

Condition for Clearing the DTC

* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.

* The trailer brake control module clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool trailer brake controls user gain parameter. The reading should be between 0-100 percent, and change with

operating the gain switch up or gain switch down.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: These diagnostics are based on having no trailer connected.

1. Ignition ON, verify that DTC P2534 is not set.

瀚慖f the DTC is set, refer to DTC P2534 (See: P Code Charts/P2534/Wiring Systems and Power Management).

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the trailer brake controller switch.

3. Test for less than 5 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 8 and ground.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the trailer

brake control module.

4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal,

replace the trailer brake control module.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the trailer brake

control module.

5. Verify the scan tool Manual Apply Switch parameter is less than 5 percent.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 4 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the trailer

brake control module.

6. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3. Verify the scan tool Manual

Apply Switch parameter is greater than 90 percent.
