Troubleshooting Error Code S.H. on Tekonsha Primus IQ
Question:
Good Day How can I fix the flashing code 5.H ?
asked by: Norm
Expert Reply:
The 5.H, or S.H, code that you are seeing on your Primus IQ # TK90160 means that the brake wire sees a short during idle condition. The short is on the blue wire of the brake controller somewhere between the controller and the trailer connector. Typically it's a bit of corrosion on the inside or the outside of the connector that causes this. But sometimes it can be cut or exposed wire on the circuit as well which you'd need to inspect and fix as needed.
I also attached a help article on troubleshooting brake controller installs for you to check out as well.
