For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) receives a bus message requesting turn signal lamp illumination. When this bus message is received, the TIPM provides a pulsed voltage output through the trailer tow turn signal control circuit. For additional information on the Trailer Tow Wiring operation, Exterior Lamps - Operation.
- When Monitored:
With the turn signal active.
- Set Condition:
When the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) detects a low condition on the (L656) Right Rear Turn Signal Control circuit.
1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE: Make sure any aftermarket or trailer tow accessories are disconnected from the Trailer Tow Connector.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, clear all DTCs.
3. Turn on the Right Turn Signal.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

2. CHECK THE (L656) RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND IN THE HARNESS
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TIPM C7 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the Trailer Tow 7-Way Wiring harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance between ground and the (L656) Right Rear Turn Signal Control circuit.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair the short to ground in the (L656) Right Rear Turn Signal Control circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
3. CHECK THE TRAILER TOW CONNECTOR FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT TO GROUND
