B3886 GMC Description
The Trailer Lighting Control Module receives a serial data message from the Body Control Module (BCM) indicating that the vehicle park lamps have been activated. The Trailer Lighting Control Module responds by applying battery voltage to the left and right trailer tail lamp control circuits illuminating the trailer tail lamps. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets when the Trailer Lighting Control Module detects a short to ground or an open/high resistance in the right trailer tail lamp control circuit.
