Is this the diagnostic flow chart you were using ?
If so. and you read the directions carefully, it will say to disconnect the wires from the output terminals for measuring the converter's voltage output. Did you disconnect the wires?
The .1 difference in low side voltage may be that the converters output is lower due to the wires being connected.
As was suggested, if your battery is bad, replace it with a new one and typical diagnostic procedures will quickly turn up a bad converter. You can use a conventional battery charger if the converter is not working but you shouldn't move the trailer without a good battery connected. The battery is power for the emergency braking system.
What seems unexplained is that you have 13.1 volts on the converter's outputs but no function of any 12V devices. This would indicate that there is a loose connection or you have a fuse or circuit breaker blown/tripped.
