2010 Cadillac Truck Escalade EXT AWD V8-6.2L Page 1093
The trailer brake control module detects a short to ground, open or a short to voltage on the relay feedback circuit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The trailer brake control will be disabled for the remainder of the ignition cycle.
* The driver information center will display Service Trailer Brake System.
Condition for Clearing the DTC
* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
* The trailer brake control module clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 consecutive drive cycles.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool trailer brake controls user gain parameter. The reading should be between 0-100 percent, and change with
operating the gain switch up or gain switch down.
Circuit/System Testing
Note: These diagnostics are based on having no trailer connected.
1. Ignition ON, verify that DTC P2534 is not set.
瀚慖f the DTC is set, refer to DTC P2534 (See: P Code Charts/P2534/Wiring Systems and Power Management).
2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the solid state relay.
3. Test for less than 5 ohm between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
4. Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal F and ground.
瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the
STUD 2 fuse is open, replace the trailer brake control relay.
5. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between control circuit terminal E and ground.
瀚慖f test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the trailer brake control module.
6. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between control circuit terminal E and B+.
瀚慖f test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the trailer brake control module.
