DTC Descriptor
DTC C800 03
Device Power Circuit Voltage Below Threshold
DTC C800 07
Device Power Circuit Voltage Above Threshold
Circuit/System Description

2008 BRAKES Trailer Brake Controls - Cab & Chassis Sierra, Cab & Chassis Silverado, Sierra & Silverado
The trailer brake control module (TBCM) monitors the system voltage (ignition voltage) to make
sure that the voltage stays within the proper range. Damage to components, and incorrect data
input can occur when the voltage is out of range. The TBCM monitors the system voltage over an
extended length of time. If the TBCM detects a system voltage outside an expected range, DTC
C0800 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C0800 03
During initialization or when the system is inactive, the system voltage is less than 10.5
volts.
During the system operation, the system voltage is less than 9.5 volts.
C0800 07
Ignition is in RUN.
The system voltage is greater than 17 volts.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The trailer brake control will be disabled at the end of the current brake apply for the
remainder of the ignition cycle.
The Service Trailer Brake System will be displayed on the Driver Information Center
(DIC).
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
When the condition for the DTC is no longer present.
The TBCM automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40
consecutive drive cycles.
