The Tekonsha P2, part # 90885, will check and alert for connection problems including loss of battery ground, loss of trailer brake magnet ground, shorts in the brake output circuit, a corroded or damaged trailer connector, or improper mounting. The P2 notifies the driver by a series of error codes that will display on the LED display if a problem is present. For your convenience, I will include a copy of the instruction manual that is included with the P2. A complete list of error codes and their meanings can be found in the Troubleshooting Chart.
