The issue is the wire you ran the red wire of the P3 part # 90195 to. We've heard from Tekonsha that a 1 amp diode needs to install on this circuit to prevent the controller from backfeeding onto the vehicle wiring. Or you can use the part # RM-690 from us. The "IN" side would point towards the vehicle.
I attached an install video of a brake controller to this page on a 2018 Highlander for you to check out as well.
