Normal Operation

The Auxiliary Junction Box (AJB) fuse 1 (10A) receives voltage from circuit CLS10 (GY/BN) when the vehicle reversing lamps are illuminated. The
voltage is then routed to the trailer tow connector through circuit CAT03 (GY/BN).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

-

Fuse

-

Wiring, terminals or connectors

-

Trailer tow connector

-

Trailer

PINPOINT TEST AB: THE TRAILER LAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE - REVERSING LAMPS

NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the
connector.

NOTE: Before beginning diagnostics, visually inspect the trailer tow connector mounted on the bumper for signs of corrosion or damage. Repair or
install a new trailer tow connector as required.

-------------------------------------------------
AB1 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE THROUGH THE TRAILER TOW CONNECTOR

-

Apply the parking brake.

-

Ignition ON.

-

Select REVERSE.

-

Measure the voltage between the trailer tow connector reversing lamp voltage supply pin, circuit CAT03 (GY/BN), component side and ground.

-

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes

The vehicle is operating correctly. SEND the trailer to an authorized camper/trailer repair facility.

No

GO to AB2.

-------------------------------------------------
AB2 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE TRAILER TOW CONNECTOR

-

Disconnect: Trailer Tow C4099.

-

Apply the parking brake.

-

Ignition ON.

-

Select REVERSE.

-

Measure the voltage between the trailer tow C4099-7, circuit CAT03 (GY/BN), harness side and ground.

-

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes

INSTALL a new trailer tow connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
