Diagnosis/troubleshooting

NOTE: The brake, parking and direction indicator lights are incorrectly actuated if the coding is incorrect, e.g. if there is a mix-up between RoW and USA (North America). This leads to a fault entry in the trailer hitch control module and possibly also in the vehicle electrical system control module.
