Important Facts to Remember
1.
Do not mount or activate RF generating items (cell
phones, two way radios) near (less than 12') the
Brake Control.
2.
CAUTION Reversing the connection to a break-
away battery on the trailer will destroy
the Brake Control.
3.
CAUTION Disconnect trailer plug from the tow
vehicle prior to testing a breakaway switch or you
may destroy the Brake Control.
4.
The light is:
• GREEN when trailer is connected.
• RED when brake pedal or manual is
activated and trailer is connected.
5.
The GREEN light draws 5 milliamperes of
current from tow vehicle. It would take over 10,000
hours to drain the tow vehicle battery.
6.
WARNING The level adjustment is CRITICAL.
The level adjustment determines whether automatic
braking response is delayed or aggressive.
7.
This brake control is activated by inertia. It
senses deceleration and generates an output
that reflects the inertia sensed. In a stationary
state, the brake control will not apply the
trailer brakes unless the Manual Slide
Knob is actuated.
8.
WARNING The Gross Combined Weight
Rating (GCWR) must never exceed the vehicle
manufacturers recommendation.
9.
This control specfically designed for use with
electric trailer brakes.

Leveling the Sensor
After the brake control has been securely mounted
the level adjustment must be set.
1.
Connect trailer to tow vehicle, Bi-Colored
Light should glow GREEN.
2.
Set power knob to maximum by fully
rotating clockwise.
3.
Depress tow vehicle’s brake pedal and hold.
4.
Rotate the Level Knob counter-clockwise
(towards the back of the control) until the
Bi-Colored Light starts to change colors
from GREEN to RED.
5.
Carefully rotate the Level Knob clockwise
(towards the front of the control) until a
shade of ORANGE is visible.
Bi-Colored Light should show:
• DIM ORANGE for a typical setting.
• BRIGHT ORANGE for an aggressive setting.
• DIM RED for a more aggressive setting.
6.
Release brake pedal.
Adjusting the Power to the
Trailer Brakes
Once the control has been installed and properly
leveled, it is necessary to set the power needed
to stop the trailer during a braking event.
1.
Connect trailer to tow vehicle.
2.
Set Power Knob to the 12 o’clock position.
3.
Drive tow vehicle and trailer on a dry level
paved surface at 25 mph and apply manual
slide knob.
NOTE:
Range of adjustment for the level knob
from DIM ORANGE to DIM RED is 20 degrees
of rotation.
✓
If trailer brakes lock up:
❑ Turn power down using power knob.
(Rotate power knob toward the 8 o’clock
position, counter-clockwise.)
✓
If braking was not sufficient:
❑ Turn power up using power knob. (Rotate
power knob toward the 5 o’clock position,
clockwise.)
4.
Repeat Step (3) until power has been set
to a point just below wheel lock up or at
a sufficient force as to achieve maximum
braking power.
5.
Using the brake pedal, make a few low speed
stops to check the Power and Level adjust-
ments. The automatic response (brake pedal)
is initiated and terminated via the stoplight
switch. When the brake pedal is released,
trailer braking will cease.
Fine Tuning
Now that the Power has been set, it is time to fine
tune the level setting for the majority of the
stopping that you will be doing.
1.
Make several slow (25 MPH) stops as if
coming up to a stop sign and take notice
of how the trailer brakes respond:
✓
Brakes Grab Too Much
❑ You have an Aggressive Setting:
To correct this condition rotate level knob
clockwise, toward you, see below.
✓
Trailer Tending to Push Tow Vehicle
❑ You have a Delayed Setting:
To correct this condition rotate level knob
counter-clockwise, away from you, see below.
2.
Repeat until desired trailer braking is achieved.
A.
Delayed
B.
Normal
C.
Aggressive
NOTE:
When the brake control is leveled
properly there will be very little current flowing
through the brake magnets in a static state with
the foot pedal depressed. The brake magnets will
hum when there is current flowing through them.
Anytime the Bi-Colored Light shows any color
other than GREEN, there is current flowing
through the brake magnets.
NOTE:
1. Front of the Voyager must be horizontal,
see below.
2. The Voyager must be parallel to direction
of travel, see below.
NOTE:
1.
WARNING This brake control is activated
by inertia and requires the level to be set
properly, or the braking response will be too
harsh or ineffective.
2.
To properly level the sensor, the trailer and
tow vehicle must be parked on a level surface
and trailer must be connected to tow vehicle.

Today we’re going to review part number 90885 this is the
tekonsha prodigy P2 trailer brake controller this is a proportional brake
controller which will activate your trailer brakes in proportion to your
vehicle’s braking action it will automatically adjust the trailers
braking based on the deceleration of the tow vehicle and it will activate
immediately so there’s no pausing like with your time delayed brake controllers
this controller does have an automatic leveling ability there’s an internal
sensor on the inside which will detect deceleration even if the controller is
not mounted flat it way you can position it at any angle up or down in a vertical
plane 360 degrees but you will want to be able to place that or you could read
this LED display right here now as far as horizontal position you do want to
stay horizontal and parallel to the direction of travels so this way in
other words not like this you want it parallel that way and not like that so
as much as you can and then vertically you can go whichever way you want now
there are three boost levels right here is the boost button when you push that
it’ll put you into a boost one boost or boost three and that will let you
adjust the initial braking power and aggressiveness so if you’re using a
heavier trailer with a heavier load you want to increase the boost level this
controller also has a continuous diagnostic check which will alert you to
any potential problems does have integrated safeguards which will protect
your vehicle the trailer and the brake controller it does minimize drain on the
car battery by drawing only 3 point 6 milliamps when not in use it’ll prevent
the trailer brakes from overheating by reducing power output to them during
prolonged stops and your foots on the brake it’ll help defend the brake controller
and the trailer breakaway system against any shorts right here would be the
digital blue LED display which is easy to read now in a minute here I’m going
to hook the power up to it we’ll be able to see that on the very bottom here
which you can reach from the front is a manual built-in rotary style manual
override for emergency braking purposes now in the very back you can see the
plug in it is a quick disconnect feature which will let you easily remove and
store the brake controller we’re not in use now it does come with this wiring
harness that plugs into the brake controller and the pigtails to wire up
to your vehicle does come with this type of mounting bracket which will install
with the mounting hardware to the side holes are the popular pocket style which
you would mount this to your vehicle then just slide this in and on each side
would be a pin that would slide into those mounting holes to release it you
just pull out those slides right out now they’re all are also butt connectors to
help you connect it to the wiring in your vehicle now we do also recommend
that if you are going to move this from vehicle to vehicle to buy an extra
wiring harness and an extra bracket if you don’t use one of these that way you
have one in each vehicle and you makes it easier to remove the controller from
one vehicle to another now we also do sell wiring harness that
is that our vehicle specific meaning they’ll have the plug like this on one
end to plug into brake controller on the other end instead of just these bare
wires they’ll have a plug that will fit the factory brake controller port on
their vehicle what you want to do is check you the fit guide and see if
you do have the factory brake control report check the fit guide on our
website and it will give you the part number of that vehicle specific brake
controller harness this is designed for trailers with up to four axles or eight
brake assemblies it is designed for use with electric or electric over hydraulic
trailer brakes does come with a limited lifetime warranty so now what I’m going
to do is I got a power source here I’m going to connect the wires up to so we
can get an idea of that blue LED display and just some of the features I’ll show
you how they operate on the controller, okay I got them all hooked up to the
power source now I’m going to snap this in I’m going to turn the power on now
what you’ll see is when the power comes on you’ll see a C you’ll see a dot and a C
that means the trailer is connected now if the trailer wasn’t connected
let me just disconnect this one I’ll show you what it looks like you’ll see
it will flash and dash see that means not connected what will happen is it
will flash for about 15 seconds then it will change the just the two dots and
that means your trailers not connected show you here in a second and there you
go now you’re just seeing the 1 dot there’ll be two dots if the boost
feature was engaged if it isn’t there’s just one dot what we’re going to do is
connect the trailer back up there we go now you’ll see it is connected now this
boost feature button right here when you see when I push it once it’ll say be for
boost now right now it’s not at any boost level as you’ll see by just the
dot and a/c now when I hit boost and then go to boost one and then there’s a
boost and a boost 3 when I’m in a boost level watch when that goes off you
should see a dot I see in a dot there’ll be two dots that means the boost feature
is engaged now to set the power here’s the power knob over here if you push
this manual override all the way on as far as you can go and then you just turn
that knob and that’ll set the boost or the power that you want so let’s say if
we set it at let’s say six three now I let off the manual override so basically
Tekonsha 90885 Prodigy P2 Electronic Brake Control Manual
when you go to hit this manual override as you push it it’s going to ramp up and
Tekonsha 90885 Prodigy P2 Electronic Brake Control User Manual System
it will go all the way to six three that’s the power you set it far so you
just set your power but our power control the dial thereby pushing all the
way and then set the power and then also there’s a feature that if this if this
is connected and it’s just sitting with no motion or activity for 15 minutes it
will go blank it still has power connected but it’ll go blank just to save on the power going
