This is a proportional brake controller that works for one of the four axles. Its part number is 39510. Now to set up the brake controller we want to turn our gain all the way up. On the right side we got our level sensor. What we'll do is apply the brakes. See that light turns red If we start turning our level sensor towards us or what would be clockwise, we'll see that dark-red light's going to begin to change. It's kind of moved into an orange, it will go to a yellow, and eventually to a green if we turn our level all the way down. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2008 Honda Odyssey- Video

Today on our 2008 Honda Odyssey, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Tekonsha Voyage trailer brake controller, part number 39510, in conjunction with part number ETBC7, which is the universal installation kit for trailer brake controllers. This is what it looks like once it's installed in the vehicle. This Voyager brake controller is a proportional controller, which means it activates immediately, unlike with time-delayed brake controllers, and the harder you push the pedal in the vehicle, the more it will apply the brakes on the trailer. If you're looking for a simple, easy-to-use brake controller, this is definitely going to be a good option. The ease of use is also something that makes this one different from some of the other ones that are out there. Unlike some of the other brake controllers out there, there aren't a whole lot of different buttons in order to change settings. You've just got a couple dials on the side. In order to use this brake controller, the first thing I want to point out is, right up here we've got this little green LED light. more

This is a proportional brake controller, so it will sense how hard you're hitting the brakes, and send the correct amount of power back to the trailer, as opposed to a time delay braking system, which sends power back to the trailer once you've hit your brakes, and doesn't let off until you release your brakes. This will give you much smoother braking with your trailer. Over here, this up button, changes your trailer gain. If you need more power going to the trailer breaks, it can provide that for you. The down button will lower the power going to the brakes. You can set it at whatever your trailer requires. Up here, in the top right corner, we've got the boost button. more

This proportional brake controller is for use on all trailers with 2, 4, or 6 electric trailer brakes.

This offers faster and smoother stopping performance, as well as extra power and control. It activates immediately, so there is no pausing like when using time delay brake controllers. more
