through IPDM E/R terminal 61

to trailer tow relay 1 terminal 3, and

through 20A fuse (No. 53, located in the IPDM E/R)

to CPU (central processing unit) of the IPDM E/R, and

through 30A fusible link (letter j , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to trailer tow relay 2 terminals 3 and 6, and

through 40A fusible link (letter k , located in the fuse and fusible link box)

to electric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 5.
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied

to ignition relay, located in the IPDM E/R, and

through 10A fuse (No. 59, located in the fuse and relay box)

to BCM terminal 38, and

through 10A fuse (No. 51, located in the IPDM E/R)

to trailer tow relay 2 terminal 1.
Ground is supplied

to BCM terminal 67

to electric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 1, and

through grounds M57, M61 and M79, and

to IPDM E/R terminals 38 and 59

to trailer tow relay 1 terminal 2

to trailer tow relay 2 terminal 2, and

to trailer connector terminal 2

to trailer turn relay LH and RH terminal 2

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
TRAILER TAIL LAMP OPERATION
The trailer tail lamps are controlled by the trailer tow relay 1.
With the lighting switch in the parking and tail lamp ON (1ST) position, AUTO position (and the auto light sys-
tem is activated) or headlamp ON (2ND) position, power is supplied

through the tail lamp relay, located in the IPDM E/R

through 10A fuse (No. 36, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 49

to trailer tow relay 1 terminal 1.
When energized, trailer tow relay 1 supplies tail lamp power to trailer connector terminal 6.
TRAILER BRAKE, TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMP OPERATION
The trailer brake, turn signal and hazard lamps are controlled by the BCM through trailer turn relays (LH and
RH). When the brake pedal is depressed, the BCM receives stop lamp switch signal through CAN communi-
cation. If the brake pedal is depressed or either turn signal or the hazard lamps are turned on, the BCM sup-
plies voltage to the trailer turn relays (LH and RH) to make them cycle on and off.
Trailer turn relay LH output is supplied

through BCM terminal 52

to trailer turn relay LH terminal 1.
Trailer turn relay RH output is supplied

through BCM terminal 51

to trailer turn relay RH terminal 1.
Left trailer brake, turn signal and hazard lamp output is supplied

through trailer turn relay LH terminal 3

to trailer connector terminal 1.
Right trailer brake, turn signal and hazard lamp output is supplied

through trailer turn relay RH terminal 3

to trailer connector terminal 4.
TRAILER BRAKE OPERATION
The trailer brake is controlled by the electric brake. The electric brake receives stop lamp switch signal at elec-
tric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 2 when the brake pedal is depressed.
When the brake pedal is depressed, power is supplied by the electric brake

through electric brake (pre-wiring) terminal 3

to trailer connector terminal 3.
TRAILER POWER SUPPLY OPERATION
The trailer power supply is controlled by the trailer tow relay 2.
When the ignition switch is in the ON or START position, power is supplied

through 10A fuse (No. 51, located in the IPDM E/R)

through IPDM E/R terminal 16

to trailer tow relay 2 terminal 1.
When energized, the trailer tow relay 2 supplies power

through trailer tow relay 2 terminals 5 and 7

to trailer connector terminal 5.
