• TSC will start-up when power is first applied
to the ECU.
• After start-up, the TSC lamp will remain off
until a valid Trailer Service Brake Signal is
detected. A brake signal is generated by the
driver pressing the brake pedal or pressing
the brake override button of the electric trailer
brake controller. By waiting for this signal,
TSC ensures it has detected a valid trailer
braking signal and the driver has correctly
connected the tow vehicle to the trailer

• Display of only a green operational lamp
indicates the system is good and fully
operational.
• Display of only an amber warning lamp
indicates the system has a fault and is
shutdown. It will not operate in this state.
• Display of an operational and warning lamp
on together (green & amber) indicates the
system is operating in a reduced state due to
a detected fault.

When the TSC is in low power sleep mode, it will
only awake when it detects an electric brake
controller signal from a connected tow vehicle.
Drivers should connect the trailer and press the
brake pedal or manual override (of the trailer
brake controller) to ensure the TSC wakes, and
lamps are visible.

A correctly working TSC displays a green lamp
ON and amber warning lamp OFF. If the amber
warning lamp is on, follow steps below to
determine the failure.
1. Wait for 5 minutes after power on at standstill
for the system to re-check the failures.
2. Power-cycle
disconnecting & reconnecting power supply,
followed by waking up the TSC.
3. If the warning light persists, perform fault
diagnosis using one of the following methods.
NOTE: The TSC system will continue to perform
fault checks at standstill. Periodic checks are
sequential at 5 minutes after standstill, then at
TSC
15 minutes after standstill and then every 30
minutes until such time the fault is corrected and
no longer detected.

The preferred method is to use the TSC phone
App which contains a diagnostic feature that
identifies and provides the cause and repair for
each fault. To extract the diagnostic fault codes
from the TSC, the user must use a supplied
®
Bluetooth
phone App on an Android or iPhone device. For
not
more information about the App see chapter
'Trailer Safety Phone App'.
Contact your trailer manufacturer if the OBD2
connector is not easily visible. See the images
below for reference. Remove the diagnostics
adapter when not in use to protect from
environmental extremes and to not drain the
trailer/caravan battery.
