| Redundant Manual Apply Sw. | - | Varies | The scan tool displays volts. This is the voltage of the manual apply switch. |
| TBCM Diagnostic Fault | - | No | The scan tool will display Yes or No if a fault is detected. The scan tool will display the Yes if a fault signal is received from the trailer brake control module. |
| TBCM Relay Feedback | - | 0 | The scan tool displays a numeric value. |
| TBCM Relay Feedback Signal (unfiltered) | - | Varies | The scan tool displays Volts. This is the unfiltered feedback signal of the TBCM relay. |
| TBCM Relay Feedback Signal (filtered) | - | Varies | The scan tool displays Volts. This is the filtered feedback signal of the TBCM relay. |
| TBCM Relay Feedback Signal | - | Varies | The scan tool displays volts. This is the voltage of the relay feedback signal. |
| TBCM Cmd. Duty Cycle | - | Varies | The scan tool displays percent of battery voltage output commanded to the trailer brakes and depends on battery voltage and user gain setting. Approximately 100% will be indicated when user gain is set to 10.0 and the manual apply lever is fully applied with the engine running. |
| Trailer Brake Control | - | Disabled | The scan tool will display Enabled/Disabled. The scan tool will display the signal received from the trailer brake control module. |
| Trailer Stop Lamp Signal | - | Off | The scan tool will display Not Requested or Off, Requested depending on the state of the brake switch, and manual apply lever. Requested will be displayed if the brake switch is active or On if the manual apply lever is applied. |
| Trailer Brake Relay Cmd. | - | 12 Volts | The scan tool displays 0-18 Volts. The scan tool displays voltage commanded to the trailer brakes when a trailer with electric brakes is connected and depends on battery voltage and user gain setting. Approximately 12-14 volts will be indicated when user gain is set to 10.0 and the manual apply lever is fully applied with the engine running. |
| Trailer Brake Relay Status | - | Enabled | The scan tool will display Disabled or Enabled. Enabled will be displayed whenever there are no faults present in the trailer brake control module. |
| Trailer Connection Detected | - | No | The scan tool displays Yes or No. The scan tool displays Yes when a trailer with electric trailer brakes is connected. |
| Trailer Disconnect Detected | - | No | The scan tool will display Yes or No depending on the trailer connections. Yes will be displayed if a trailer connection is made to a trailer equipped with electric trailer brakes, and a disconnect occurs within the same ignition cycle. |
| User Gain Switch | - | Varies | The scan tool displays percent of full gain setting. The scan tool displays 0-100%. Each full gain setting represents an increment of approximately 10 percent of full gain setting. Approximately 40% will be indicated with a gain setting of 4.0, 65% will be indicated with a gain setting of 6.5, etc. |
| User Gain Switch | - | Varies | The scan tool displays volts. This is the voltage of the full gain setting. |
| User Gain Switch 5 V Reference | - | Varies | The scan tool displays volts. This is the reference voltage of the user gain switch. |
| Vehicle Speed | - | km/h or mph | The scan tool displays 0-327 km/h (0-204 mph). The scan tool displays 0 km/h (0 mph) when the vehicle is not moving or is moving at speeds less than or equal to 0 km/h (0 mph). |
