WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The trailer lighting control module receives a serial data message from the body control module (BCM) indicating that the vehicle left or right turn signal lamp has been activated. The trailer lighting control module responds by applying a pulsating voltage to the appropriate trailer turn signal lamp through their respective control circuit illuminating the desired trailer turn signal lamp.
