Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2008 Toyota Tundra TK90160- Video
Today on our 2008 Toyota Tundra, we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Tekonsha Primus IQ. This proportional trailer brake controller works great for one of the three axles. Its part number is TK90160. We're also going to be using the Tekonsha Plug-in Wiring Adapter, part number 3040-P. The Primus IQ is a proportional braking system. What that means is it uses a sensor located inside to detect the braking force that's coming from our truck. In an emergency stop situation where we really get on the brakes hard, it feels that and it's going to send immediate heavy braking power to the rear up to whatever we've set with our gain. more

It's going to help to prevent any overheating we might experience on those long stops by slowly reducing the power output going to the brakes, and it also minimizes the drain on the battery. When not in use it only draws 3.6 mA. The P2's going to be an excellent choice in brake controllers. more

Now with the taped up, we'll go ahead and take the white connector and plug it into the manufacturer's towing port, that's located on the driver's side, just above the kick panel and between it and the parking brake pedal. Now, with that connection made, we'll take the white wire, with the pre-attached ring terminal, which should be the ground wire for our harness, and secure here it to a body ground, which our parking brake pedal bracket is grounded so we can use our self tapping screw and secure it directly to that. Now, with those connections made, we'll go ahead and route our wire back over to the brake controller and install it into the back of the brake controller. Now we have it routed and installed, I'll go ahead and use a couple of black zip ties to secure our wiring up underneath the dash, and then we'll cut off the excess from the zip ties to clean up our install look.

Today on this 2002 Toyota Tundra, were going to install the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part number 90885, and we are also going to use the install kit part number ETBC7.
