Circuit/System Testing
1. Inspect the trailer rear fog lamp bulb for an open or shorted filament.
瀚慖f the bulb is inoperable, replace the bulb.
2. Park lamp switch OFF, clear the DTC, test the trailer rear fog lamp circuit for a short to voltage, short to ground, an open, or high resistance.
瀚慖f all circuits/connections test normal, replace the XBCM.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

DTC Descriptor
DTC B3894 5A
- Stop Lamp Switch Circuit Plausibility Failure
Circuit/System Description
The brake switch is hard wired to the trailer brake control module (TBCM). The body control module (BCM) sends a brake switch status serial data
message to the trailer brake control module. The trailer brake control module compares the states of the brake switch signal to the serial data
message after a master cylinder brake pressure sensor threshold is exceeded. If the brake switch signal and the serial data message are not in
agreement or if the serial data message is not valid, a DTC will set and the trailer brake control system will be disabled.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Battery voltage is 9.5-17 V.
* The module initialization has taken place.
* The master cylinder brake pressure exceeds threshold
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The brake switch serial data message is not valid.
* The actual brake switch input to the trailer brake control module, and the serial data information for the brake switch do not match.
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.
