Trailer Tow Module - Description

DESCRIPTION





The Trailer Module (TM) (1) is used only on vehicles manufactured for certain export markets and equipped with a factory-installed trailer towing package. The TM is secured to a mounting plate within a cavity on the right side of a molded plastic intermediate step assembly located on the rear floor panel under the second row seat cushion. The module is concealed beneath a carpeted trim cover secured by hook and loop fasteners over the step cavity. The outboard side of this step cavity also contains the intrusion module on vehicles that are so equipped. The TM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through dedicated take outs and connectors of the body wire harness.

There are two mounting tabs (2) integral to the TM housing are secured by two nuts to two studs integral to the mounting plate. Four connector receptacles (4) containing terminal pins that connect the module to the vehicle electrical system are integral to the one side of the housing. One additional receptacle (3) is not utilized in this application.

The TM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.
