The Pro Series Pilot trailer brake controller is a great option for those who tow light loads at all hours of the day and night, in all types of weather. Its dark, smokey lens makes it ideal for direct light applications, creating optimum visibility to read the large, two-digit display. The Pilot brake controller kit is a time-based controller that works by electronically connecting your vehicle and your trailer. When you hit the brakes in your tow vehicle, it generates an output signal that ramps up, or increases over a period of time, applying braking power to your trailer at a fixed rate. Its large, easy-to-read dual digit display shows power output and the aggressiveness with which the controller applies the brakes. The Pilot also has manual override to help you brake safely when an unexpected stop pops up. It features advanced internal circuit protection, real time diagnostics, short circuit protection, and loss of ground. Because the Pilot is time-based, it can be mounted in any direction. Plus, the Plug & Play feature allows for quick and easy connection with your vehicle’s wiring. The Pilot trailer brake controller works with 1-3 axle trailers, comes with all the mounting hardware needed for installation, and is backed by a limited 1-year warranty.

Tekonsha is a leading manufacturer of electronic trailer brake controllers, pioneering the category in the 1970s. The lineup spans proportional units such as the Prodigy P3 and Prodigy iD, time-delayed controllers, the wireless Prodigy RF, plus vehicle-specific wiring harnesses, adapters and trailer brake components engineered for smooth, predictable stopping at any speed.
Tekonsha Engineering Company began in 1964 building RV steps and mirrors. Within a few years it had found its real calling, and by the 1970s Tekonsha was pioneering the manufacture of electronic trailer brake controllers, the product category that still defines the brand. More than half a century later it remains the reference name in trailer braking and is part of the Horizon Global group alongside Reese, Draw-Tite, Fulton, Bulldog and Wesbar.
A brake controller is the component that tells a trailer's electric brakes how hard to work and when, and getting that right is the difference between a controlled stop and a shove from behind. Tekonsha builds both major types. Proportional controllers use an internal accelerometer to sense how quickly the tow vehicle is slowing and apply trailer braking to match, so light braking stays light and hard braking is immediate. Time-delayed controllers ramp to a preset output over a fixed interval, a simpler and more economical approach that suits occasional towing.
The current brake controller range covers most of that ground. The Prodigy iD pairs with a phone through Tekonsha's EDGE technology for setup and monitoring, the P3 offers storable settings for multiple trailers and a trilingual colour LED display, the Prodigy P2 adds a dimmable display and boost mode for heavier loads, and the Voyager keeps operation simple and dependable. The Prodigy RF mounts to the trailer itself and controls wirelessly, which suits rental fleets and drivers who swap tow vehicles.
Installation is supported by vehicle-specific brake control harnesses that plug into a factory connector rather than requiring cut-and-splice wiring, along with mounting brackets and adapters. Matched controller bundles pair a unit with the correct harness. Products are tested to meet and often exceed published industry standards.

1. Locate the vehicle's electric brake control harness connector. Remove the driver's side kick panel. You will find a 4-pin connector that mates with the brake control harness taped to another vehicle harness. Connect the brake control harness into the vehicle's connector, being careful not to break the locking tabs. 2. Plug the brake control adapter into the vehicle's electric controller connector. 3. Complete the installation per the electric brake control manufacturer's instructions and mount the unit as directed. Perform test procedures as instructed.
The electric brake control harness connector is located behind the driver's side kick panel. You will need to remove this panel to access the 4-pin connector that mates with the brake control harness.
When connecting the brake control harness to the vehicle's connector, be careful not to break the locking tabs on the connector. These tabs secure the connection and must remain intact for proper operation.
The maximum rating is 24 amps for a maximum of 4 axles with 8 brakes. Do not exceed the lower of the towing manufacturer rating (including in your vehicle owner's manual) or this specific amperage rating, as overloading circuits can cause fires.
The 3081 is rated for a maximum of 4 axles with 8 brakes at 24 amps. Do not exceed this rating or the lower of your vehicle's towing manufacturer rating as stated in your vehicle owner's manual. Exceeding these ratings can cause circuit overload and fires.
Vehicles not equipped with an OEM trailer tow package may require fuses and relays to complete the output and battery feed circuits. These are sold separately. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the locations of these components.
Torque the existing ground screw to the manufacturer's torque specifications. The manual does not provide a specific torque value; you should refer to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications or contact Horizon Global technical support at 800-632-3290 for the correct value.
The brake control system uses a black wire for battery voltage (which should read 12–14 volts) and a white wire for ground. These are the key wires to verify during testing and troubleshooting.
The black wire should measure 12–14 volts when the system is operating correctly. If you do not see this voltage, verify the battery voltage connection to the black wire.
The white wire is the ground wire. You should verify that it has a proper ground connection. If the system shows a 'Brake Control Open Ground Notification', check the connection to ground on the white wire of the power module.
No. You must use a Tekonsha-approved test light or tester. Using some other test lights or non-Tekonsha testers can cause a false 'Brake Control Short Notification' and lead to incorrect troubleshooting.
This notification indicates one of several possible issues: the trailer is disconnected from the tow vehicle, the trailer connection is dirty or corroded, the trailer or tow vehicle connector is miswired, there is an open electric brake control wire, or there is a loss of ground to the brake magnets. To resolve this: depress the brake pedal or use the manual override; verify the connection from the power module to the dash module; verify the connection to the power module and vehicle; verify battery voltage to the black wire (should be 12–14 volts); and verify ground on the white wire.
This notification indicates that the power module has detected a brake wire short to ground. Possible causes include use of some test lights or non-Tekonsha testers, a short in the 7-way connector between brake outputs and other terminals, or an electric brake wire on the tow vehicle or trailer that is shorted out. To resolve this: use only a Tekonsha-approved test light or tester; inspect and repair the trailer connector if needed; and inspect and repair or replace the electric brake wire.
This notification indicates that the power module has lost its connection to the vehicle battery ground while the trailer is connected. To resolve this, check the connection to ground on the white wire of the power module and ensure it is secure.
This notification indicates an electrical overload condition. Possible causes include a defective brake magnet, an intermittent short on the electric brake wire or bare wire, or a thermal overload condition reducing braking power. To resolve this: locate and replace any defective brake magnet; locate and repair any faulty brake wire; and decrease the electrical load on the system. If the issue is thermal overload, reduce the braking power demand.
This notification indicates an internal error with the brake controller itself. Contact the brake control manufacturer's technical support for assistance, as this is not a field-serviceable issue. Note that functional codes may differ per manufacturer, so refer to the instructions supplied with your specific brake control unit.
After installation, perform all test procedures as instructed by the electric brake control manufacturer. Verify that the power module is properly connected to the dash module and to the vehicle, check that battery voltage to the black wire reads 12–14 volts, and verify that the white wire has a proper ground connection. Ensure all existing ground connections remain attached and torque the existing ground screw to manufacturer specifications.
