Your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 appears to be working correctly on your 2011 Chevy Silverado because you are getting that readout. The issue which my contact at Tekonsha said is extremely common on your vehicle is with the brake light switch. Your switch has gone bad and needs to be replaced. He said he received 6 calls in one day all with this same issue and solution. He said if your cruise control also isn't working correctly that brake light switch replacement should solve that as well.
