Check that tractor’s 12-volt intervehicular electrical cable is connected to semitrail-
er’s 12-volt electrical connector (see paragraph 2-12). Convoy warning light does
not operate on 24 volts.
Connect tractor’s 12-volt intervehicular electrical cable to semitrailer’s 12-volt
electrical connector (see paragraph 2-12).
Step 2.
Check that convoy warning light toggle switch on front face of roadside light box is
turned on (see paragraph 2-2).
Turn on toggle switch (see paragraph 2-2).

Step 2.
Check for damage to tractor’s intervehicular electrical cable (see
TM 9-2320-273-10 or TM 9-2320-283-10). Check for dirty or corroded pins on elec-
trical connectors on voltage control unit (see paragraph 1-12).
Clean pins on semitrailer electrical connectors with a wire brush or clean rag
and apply corrosion preventive compound (Item 7, Appendix E). If damage to
tractor’s intervehicular electrical cable or electrical connectors on
semitrailer’s voltage control unit is found, notify unit maintenance.
BRAKES

Step 1.
Check air pressure gage in tractor. It should read at least 65 psi (448 kPa) (see
TM 9-2320-273-10 or TM 9-2320-283-10).
If air pressure gage reads low, notify unit maintenance.
