  1. Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    The TRM requires a minimum of 5 seconds after a trailer is connected to "detect" the trailer. This learning process requires no input  from the brake pedal, manual slider switch or gain buttons. If the brake is pressed, the manual slider switch is moved or a gain button is pressed, the learning process is stopped and the TRM cannot detect the trailer.

    REFER to: Auxiliary Brake System - System Operation and Component Description .

    Possible Sources 

    • INFORM the customer of the learning process and they must wait at least 5 seconds after connecting a trailer before pressing the brake pedal, moving the manual slider switch or pressing the gain buttons.
