Refer to Wiring Diagrams Set 42, Vehicle Dynamic Systems for schematic and connector information. Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

The Trailer Brake Control (TBC) module communicates with the scan tool through the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). Circuits VDB04 (WH/BU) (HS-CAN +) and VDB05 (WH) (HS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the TBC module. Voltage to the TBC module is supplied by circuits CBP33 (WH/BN). Ground is supplied by circuit GD138 (BK/WH).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- TBC module
