Why does the system not detect a
sensor?
•
There could be an issue with the
connection. Make sure that the 12-way
connector is fully inserted into the
12-way socket, that the red rubber seal
is not visible when the connector is fully
inserted and that the wiring harness
sensor connection is fully inserted at
the trailer sensor.
•
The wiring harness could be damaged.
Check for damaged wiring between the
12-way connector and the trailer
sensor.
•
There could be multiple sensors
connected to your vehicle. Make sure
only one sensor is connected at a time.
•
The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
installed on a vertical surface with the
arrows pointing straight up.
What does it mean if the system
remains on one message for an
extended time during calibration
when setting up the system with
the sensor?
•
The trailer length could be outside the
allowed range. The system is designed
to work with trailers that have a hitch
point to center of the axle or axles
measurement of 6–33 ft
(1.85–10.05 m).
•
The road surface could be too rough or
bumpy. Try calibrating the system on
a smoother road surface, such as an
open parking lot.
•
The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
installed on a vertical surface with the
arrows pointing straight up.
What does it mean if the system
does not detect a trailer when
configured with a sensor?
•
Verify that you properly connected the
sensor. See
(page 441). Repeat
calibration on a different route if you
have verified sensor installation.
What if I want to use a sensor for
the trailer instead of a sticker?
•
Install the sensor and connect the
sensor wiring before adding the new
trailer to the system. You must connect
the sensor before you add the trailer.
If your vehicle did not come with a
sensor, you can purchase one from your
authorized dealer.
