Expert Reply:
The C.5 or C.S error code of the Journey HD brake controller you referenced is for a Charging System Error. Does your trailer have a battery on it? If so, the issue is that the charge wire that runs to it from your vehicle trailer connector has an issue. Most likely a loose wire or short here. I attached a picture that has all of the error codes for the Journey explained as well.
