Trailer Reverse Steering Control Module (TRSCM)

2024 Dodge and Ram 1500 TRXSECTION Trailer Reverse Steering Control Module (TRSCM)
TRAILER REVERSE STEERING CONTROL MODULE (TRSCM)

Refer to COMPONENT INDEX .

The TRSCM is located to the right side of the center stack behind the left edge of the glove box. It receives fused B+ from the interior Power Distribution Center (PDC) and a continuous ground at a ground eyelet behind the radio or Display Screen Module (DSM) as equipped. The TRSCM receives a direct data input from the TRSK via a private CAN bus for driver input to the system. The TRSCM uses all of the data gathered from the system modules to guide the trailer into the desired position at a safe speed that alleviates the possibility of jackknifing the trailer and vehicle. The TRSCM will override the driver input if the vehicle speed becomes too great for a safe maneuver.

The TRSCM receives an LVDS signal from the CVPM, if equipped with a Surround View Camera system, or the RVC if not equipped with the SVC system. In either case, the TRSCM acts as a simple "pass-through" for the LVDS to the radio.
