Dealer Installed TBC

Dealer Installed Trailer Brake Control Module

 

Yes it can be done, but only on Superduty's built in the years it was available as a factory installed option. These trucks are already wired for the components. You will need to add the necessary components and reconfigure the HEC module. (instrument cluster)

 

Parts

• TBC module: 5C3Z-2C006-AA
• TBC Master Cylinder: With Hydro-Booster 5C3Z-2140-HA -or- With Vacuum Booster 6C3Z-2140-DA
• Left hand dash mounting bracket bin for TBC: 5C3Z-2513546-BAA

 

Installation

• Install the appropriate master cylinder and bleed brakes according to the service manual. Be sure to connect all sensors. REMINDER: ABS equipped trucks have special bleeding requirements!
• Connect and install the TBC Module in the dash with the bin or next to the Upfitter Switches if equipped.
• Configure the HEC module (instrument cluster) using WDS: Connect WDS and identify the vehicle. Select the following successive menu selections: "Toolbox" - "Module Programming" - "Programmable Parameters" "Personality." There should then be a list of parameters one of which will be Trailer Brake Control Module. Select that parameter and change the option on the right to "Equipped."

 

You are on your own for labor times as this is a customer pay upgrade. Opinions on a fair time are welcome and I will post what my dealer has decided as a fair labor time and parts cost. I hope you find this useful!
