Procedure A

PROCEDURE A: TRAILER LIGHTS WIRING CONNECTOR TERMINAL CHECK

Check the condition of the BCM by performing a terminal check at the Trailer Lights Wiring Connector (near the trailer hitch) as follows.

Procedure A (Terminal Check) is split up into two sections:

^ Section 1: For vehicles with a 4-terminal Trailer Lights Wiring Connector.

^ Section 2: For vehicles with a 7-terminal Trailer Lights Wiring Connector.

NOTE:
For vehicles without a trailer lights wiring connector, the BCM condition will be checked later in Procedure B.

Section 1: Vehicles Equipped With 4-terminal Trailer Lights Wiring Connector

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

2. Make sure the combination switch and hazard switch are OFF.

3. Using a Test Light, check for power at terminals # 3 and # 4 (see Figure 1).

^ If there is power at either terminal, replace the BCM. Return to the Repair Flow Chart for further instructions.

^ If there is NO power at either terminal, the circuit is OK. Return to the Repair Flow Chart for further instructions.

4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

Section 2: Vehicles Equipped With 7-terminal Trailer Lights Wiring Connector

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

2. Make sure the combination switch and hazard switch are OFF.
