OVERVIEW
The deployable towbar is located behind the rear bumper. The deployable
towbar assembly replaces the armature
behind the bumper.
The electrically operated deployable towbar is stowed under the vehicle. The
deployable towbar can be deployed
using a deployable towbar switch or the deployable towbar soft key on the Touch
Screen (FCDIM).
The deployable towbar switch or the deployable towbar soft key sends a signal to
the TBM to deploy/stow the towbar.
The deployable towbar system is integrated into the vehicle electrical systems
and controlled by the TBM. The TBM
communicates with other vehicle control modules through the High Speed (HS)
Controller Area Network (CAN) body
systems bus. The TBM receives signals from the Body Control Module (BCM)/
Gateway Control Module (GWM) and
controls the trailer lamps through the trailer socket.
