DCT c13700 trailer brake controller

I was on the engineering mode checking for codes and found the code C13700. I drive a 2015 F150 XLT with the 2.7L v6. I would like to find if anyone else has had this problem and would like help. Thanks, Keaton

I have never seen it and Google doesn't bring up results either and the list only specifies up to five characters for definition.

First digit structure is as follows: • Pxxxx for powertrain • Bxxxx for body • Cxxxx for chassis • Uxxxx for future systems Second digit structure is: • P0xxx Government required codes • P1xxx Manufacturer codes for additional emission system function; not required but reported to the government Third digit structure is: • Px1xx measurement of air and fuel • Px2xx measurement of air and fuel • Px3xx ignition system • Px4xx additional emission control • Px5xx speed and idle regulation • Px6xx computer and output signals • Px7xx transmission • Px8xx transmission • Px9xx control modules, input and output signals The fourth and fifth digits designate the individual components and systems.

Also another note I found specifies:

NOTE: DTC Codes are not to be used for diagnosing problems. If you believe there is a problem with your car, you should have it scanned with a code reader.

Did you buy the truck used? That's the code that will come up when the TBC isn't configured properly, it also happens when the TBC shorts out.

Yes we had bought the truck used 4 months ago. The controller performs all functions flawlessly. How can I reconfigure it or reset the code?

my check engine light just came on yesterday and I did the same as you with engineering mode and got the same code C13700. Can’t find anything online with a C137. Did you find out what the problem was? I’ve been having what sounds like spark knock and recently put half a tank of 93 octane in a tank of 87. Truck hasn’t been running any different. Seems like it may shift a bit harder from 4 to 5 but that’s about it.
