How much voltage should there be at the trailer plug for the trailer brakes. Im getting about 1.9.with the brake pedal depressed truck running. First time Ive ever had to diagnose trailer brakes, but that seems a little low.

I have read "some" of the manual.LOL I was just having a little trouble with the trailer brakes and was kind of surprised to see only 1.9 vdc at the truck plug. Is that low while parked?

Most controllers that show numbers are showing voltage output to the brakes. At least the Prodigy brand are. Like someone said, modern controllers are inertia based. When parked, they're going to put out a minimum voltage to maintain parking. The manual slider will cause additional voltage.

I'm guessing this is the Ford integrated controller? If so then yes, it will put out very little voltage at idle. Check this link:https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-ford-ibc.html
Check it w/ the slider activated. Are you having a braking problem? The integrated controller is tied to the ABS brakes and functions differently than old style controllers.

This is the Ford controller. Im having trailer braking problems and was troubleshooting.
Thanks for the great link. That answered all of my questions.
