3. After the electrical connection is made to a
trailer equipped with electric brakes:
• A TRAILER CONNECTED message will be
briefly displayed on the DIC display.
• The Trailer Brake Display Page will appear
on the DIC showing TRAILER GAIN and
TRAILER OUTPUT.
• In the Trailer Output display on the
DIC, “------“will disappear if there is no
error present. Connecting a trailer without
electric brakes will not clear the six dashed
lines.
4. Adjust the Trailer Gain by using the gain
adjustment (+ / -) buttons on the Trailer
Brake Control Panel.
5. Drive the vehicle with the trailer attached on a
level road surface representative of the towing
condition and free of traffic at about 20 to
25 mph (32 to 40 km/h) and fully apply
the Manual Trailer Brake Apply lever.
Adjusting trailer gain at speeds lower than
20 to 25 mph (32 to 40 km/h) may result in an
incorrect gain setting.
6. Adjust the Trailer Gain to just below the point
of trailer wheel lock-up, indicated by trailer
wheel squeal or puffs of tire smoke when
a trailer wheel locks.
Trailer wheel lock-up may not occur if towing
a heavily loaded trailer. In this case, adjust
the Trailer Gain to the highest allowable
setting for the towing condition.
7. Re-adjust Trailer Gain any time vehicle
loading, trailer loading or road surface
conditions change or if you notice trailer wheel
lock-up at any time while you are towing
