Tone, no light

Im towing with an 06 F350 DRw using factory brake controller. When I touch the foot brake, I get a tone. No dash lights, no flash or red on the brake controller lights. Brakes on trailer work fine. I don't get the tone using the hand controller. The tone beeps just once. It doesn't repeat immediately, but when I brake again after about two minutes or so, I'll get the single tone again. I can't find anything in the manual or Internet. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe this?

From Ford manual online:

TRAILER BRAKE MODULE FAULT (if equipped) — Displayed and



accompanied by a single chime, in response to faults sensed by the TBC.


Refer to Trailer towing in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter for



more information.

on the TBC.

Green icon is good

Red is bad.

So when pushing the foot brake you see the tbc increase on the graph?
