DRIVING AND OPERATING
Trailer Wiring Harness
The seven-pin trailer connector is
mounted in the bumper. This
connector can be plugged into a
seven-pin universal heavy-duty trailer
connector available through your
dealer.
Use only a round, seven-wire
connector with flat blade terminals
meeting SAE J2863 specifications for
proper electrical connectivity.
The seven-wire harness contains the
following trailer circuits:
Yellow/Grey: Left Stop/Turn Signal
Green/Violet: Right Stop/Turn
Signal
Grey/Brown: Taillamps
White: Ground
White/Green: Back-up Lamps
Red/Green: Battery Feed
Dark Blue: Trailer Brake
To help charge a remote (non-vehicle)
battery, change drive mode to Tow
Haul. If the trailer is too light for Tow/
Haul Mode, turn on the headlamps to
help charge the battery.
Electric Brake Control Wiring
Provisions
These wiring provisions are included
with the vehicle as part of the trailer
wiring package. These provisions are
for an electric brake controller.
The harness should be installed by
your dealer or a qualified service
center.
Refer to the aftermarket electric trailer
brake controller owner's manual to
determine wire color coding of the
electric trailer brake controller. The
wire colors on the brake controller
may be different from the vehicle.
Trailer Lamps
Always check all trailer lamps are
working at the beginning of each trip,
and periodically on longer trips.
If equipped, the Trailering App will
monitor the RH turn/brake lamp
circuit, LH turn/brake lamp circuit,
running lamp circuit, and reverse
lamp circuits on the trailer. DIC
messages and Trailering App alerts
may be displayed if lighting circuit
issues are detected on the trailer.
Pressing START LIGHT TEST in the
Trailering App automatically activates
trailer lamps. The Trailering App is
not a substitute for manually
inspecting your trailer lamps. See
Trailering App 0 354.
Trailer Connection and Lamp
Messages
When a trailer is properly connected
and working, no trailer connection or
lamp messages appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). However; if
the vehicle detects an issue with a
trailer connection or lamp, you may
see the following DIC message(s):

connected trailer is disconnected.
It appears immediately when the
vehicle is on, or upon the next

off. Check the trailer connection as
appropriate.
CHECK TRAILER XXX LAMP
appears when there is a detected
lamp or wiring fault on the trailer.
