2. Disconnect the TTM harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the Trailer Rear Fog Lamp Driver circuit between the TTM harness connector and the Trailer Tow electrical connector.
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Repair the open in the Trailer Rear Fog Lamp Driver circuit.
  - Perform the TTM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD-PROCEDURE-TTM-VERIFICATION-TEST .
CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Measure the resistance between ground and the Ground circuit at the Trailer Tow electrical connector.
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Repair the open in the Ground circuit.
  - Perform the TTM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD-PROCEDURE-TTM-VERIFICATION-TEST .

  Does the test light illuminate on and off brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
1. Disconnect all TTM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Reconnect all TTM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
10. With the scan tool, read TTM DTCs.
