Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller
Tekonsha P3 Brake controller is a proportional trailer brake controller that has been hailed as a breakthrough. It has a system that is symmetrical and smooth. The P3 is considered as one of the leading electric brake control for trailers. This controller is transferrable between cars and includes a Liquid Crystal Display(LCD) that has modern diagnostics that you can use with ease, 3 different boost grades that allow for different levels of customized braking. Tekonsha also cares about their customers Why? Because due to customer preference they added a creative feature that allows you to change from an electric braking system to a hydraulic braking system. But I am sure you are wondering how does this brake controller work? Allow me to explain:
HOW IT WORKS
This controller gives you three options: heavy duty emergency, general or slow to idle braking automatically. The Tekonsha P3 controller can adjust to every braking situation in a different way. The force that will be used to put your brakes into motion and how fast they are applied depends on how fast the vehicle slows down. This controller uses an inertia based sensor within it that detects the level of brake applied by the tow vehicle. This sensor reacts to the slowing down of the tow vehicle by sending signals to the controller. The controller will then give the trailer brakes enough power to match the force of the tow vehicle brake. This results in a uniform brake along your setup with no push- pull action. A more practical example is that If you slam the brakes on your truck, the trailer will break with the same magnitude. If you are stopping for a red light, your trailer brakes will also slow down in the same manner slowly. Now that you know how it works we can move on to the features of this great innovation.The features are as follows:

FEATURES
- An LCD display that is multi coloured and easy to read. The controller has an LCD display that has a distinctive look to it. This is because of the different colours and contrast options that make it easy for you to read. It does this by allowing you to set the most favourable colour and contrast option.
- It comes in three different languages. Another good thing about the P3 controller is that it has three different languages that is English,Spanish and French.So, you can choose the language that you are most fluent in.
- It has a state of the art diagnostic system that is easy to understand. The Tekonsha P3 Brake controller has an advanced diagnostic system that notifies you about the brake and output voltage, the output current and the battery among many things . You shouldn't let this worry you because it is easy to understand. It shows you the different problems clearly and even lets you know where to begin so as to solve the problem.
- It has up front controls that allow for ease of access to all the features. The controls are easy to reach even when you are driving. They are also designed in a way that allows you to access the important features of without difficulty.
- It has a boost feature that allows for different levels of brake customization. Tekonsha also brought a boost feature in this model that is very helpful during heavy duty towing. What the controller does is that it gives you more initial braking power. It does this by allowing the brakes to get to maximum much faster than normal. This is to make sure that when braking while towing a heavy load, the tow vehicle will not be pushed forward as it comes to a halt.
- It has a snap in mountain clip. This feature allows you to remove and take the controller with you when not in use. It also comes with a pouch to make storage easier for you. This is convenient for those who live in areas where theft is rampant and they are worried of losing this handy equipment
