You hook a scanner up to it to get computer codes

That's where the Flux Capacitor plugs up. It was a dealer-only option.

I'm leaning towards a brake controller...check the colors of the wires versus that of the plug by the hitch.

You can buy the plug for it at most trailer dealers.
Then you splice the 18260 plug wires to the controller wires.
