Trailer Tail Lamp Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Nissan NV3500 HD, 2019 Nissan NV2500 HD, and 2019 Nissan NV1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The trailer tail lamps are controlled by the trailer tow relay 1. With the lighting switch in the 1st position, the BCM detects the LIGHTING SWITCH 1ST POSITION ON. The BCM sends a parking light ON request via the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R then activates the tail lamp relay which activates the trailer tow relay 1 and sends power to the trailer connector.
