Can the 7-Way Trailer Brake Emulator # 6562 be used with the 2010 Ford Integrated Brake Controller

Does this emulator work on a 2010 Ford F250 equipped with the Ford integrated trailer brake controller?

I spoke with the electrical engineer at Tekonsha to find out if the Tekonsha 7-Way Trailer Emulator Blade Style Connector, item # 6562, will properly test the brake controller output from your Ford factory integrated brake controller. My concern was that this brake controller has a pressure switch that is activated by the master cylinder and that it may interfere somehow with the testers ability to properly read the output from the brake controller.
I was informed that the tester will work fine with the factory brake controller installed in Ford trucks. I have posted a link to instructions for you to review.
