INCORRECT OPERATION

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM) communicates with the vehicle through the high speed CAN C
bus. The ITBM monitors the Brake Pedal Status, Vehicle Speed and ESP status via CAN message. It also
outputs the Trailer Status, Gain Setting, and Trailer Brake Output Power to the vehicle. The ITBM connects to
the electric trailer brakes through the 7-Way connector and controls the brake force through a Pulse Width
Modulating (PWM) duty cycle.
NOTE: If there is no trailer connected there will be NO Pulse Width Modulating (PWM)
signal.
The PWM is proportional to the rate of deceleration measured by the accelerometer inside the ITBM. The
ITBM controls the PWM output to the trailer brakes in four ways. The first occurs while the brake pedal
becomes active and vehicle speed is greater than 0 km/h (0 mph). The second is the manual lever on the ITBM
that can be controlled by the driver. If both the manual lever and the brake pedal are active simultaneously, the
greater of the two, in terms of PWM output, will prevail. The third is after the vehicle has stopped moving, after
approximately three seconds of the brake pedal applied the trailer brakes will be applied too. This is to
minimize hitch to trailer noise and vehicle roll back when taking off from a stop and on an incline. The fourth is
that it will become active during an ESP trailer sway event.
WHEN MONITORED
Continuous.
SET CONDITION
If the Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM) has an internal accelerometer that has a duty cycle of less than
5% or greater than 95% or if the accelerometer fails the internal self test which is executed every time the
ignition is turned on, this code will set. Automatic braking is disabled, manual lever is still functional.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ITBM VERIFICATION TEST

DIAGNOSTIC TEST
PERFORM ITBM VERIFICATION TEST
NOTE: If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Body Control Module (BCM) was
replaced, refer to the appropriate Service Information for proper programming
procedures.
1. Disconnect all jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
2. Make sure all accessories are turned off.
3. Make sure the battery is fully charged.
4. With the scan tool, record and erase all DTC(s) from the ITBM.
5. Start the engine and allow it to idle for two minutes while operating all functions of the system that
caused the original concern.
6. Turn the ignition off, wait five seconds, then turn the ignition on. Using the scan tool, read DTC(s) from
the ITBM.
Are any ITBM DTC(s) present or is the original condition still present?
Yes
The repair is not complete. Perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure for the DTC or symptom
that is still present.
No
