Proportional Braking

What is proportional Braking

The Tuson DirecLink is unique in that it connects directly to your vehicle's computer network, constantly reading data from your vehicle to give you proportional braking. Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. Using multiple data parameters, this brake controller will analyze your tow vehicle's braking and momentum. It will then send out enough power to your trailer brakes so that they are activated with an intensity that matches. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup, saving wear and tear on the tires and brakes of your trailer. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.


DirecLink Operation

With the main unit mounted out of sight, the remote puts control of your trailer's brakes right in your hand. In addition to offering fast and easy power adjustment and a manual override, it keeps your cab clutter-free and your towing experience simple.


Tuson DirecLink remote

Using the up and down buttons on the handy remote, select the brake scale for your trailer. This will set the amount of power the brake controller sends to your trailer to bring it to a stop; how much you'll need will depend on the weight of your trailer. You'll want to set the brake scale as high as you can without locking up the brakes. There is no need to adjust this setting unless you are going from an empty trailer to a fully loaded trailer or vice versa.


Tuson DirecLink remote manual override

The remote also puts the manual override right in your hand, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. To engage the manual override, just press the trigger. This will activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.


Tuson DirecLink review

Low-Speed Brake Adjustment

The DirecLink has a unique feature to make your braking smoother: low-speed braking adjustment. When you're cruising on the highway, you need a different amount of braking power to slow your trailer than when you're driving slowly through town. The low-speed braking adjustment on this controller adds the option of a secondary setting to the brake scale. Use the sub-menu on the remote to set the low-speed setting. The DirecLink will use this level of braking scale whenever you're towing below 30 mph, so you have smooth, safe, and comfortable braking at any speed.


Customizable Settings

In addition to the essentials of towing, the Tuson DirecLink has an extensive menu of extra features for configuring the controller to suit your needs and preferences.


Trailer Size

At the standard brake scale setting, the DirecLink offers 20 levels of braking. This is designed for trailers less than 10,000 lbs. For trailers more than 10,000 lbs, the DirecLink has an additional 20 levels to choose from, making 40 total, so you have more flexibility to find just the right brake scale for your larger trailer.


Adjust Braking Power for Long Stops

When you're waiting at a red light or stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, you don't need your trailer brakes on at full power. The longer you sit there, the more likely they are to overheat. To keep your trailer's brakes from wearing out prematurely, you can set a different braking level for when your vehicle is stopped. You can set it between 5% and 30% of the full brake scale, and that will keep your vehicle and trailer in place on a steep grade or a slippery boat ramp without overdoing it.


Maximum Brake Limit

The maximum brake limit feature lets you fine-tune your braking so you can find the perfect blend of safe and comfortable braking. It allows you to set a high braking level for your manual override, especially important for large and heavy-duty trailers, while moderating your normal-use braking. So if your brakes lock up at 75% of your set brake scale, you can dial the maximum brake limit back to 70%, while still having 100% braking power available for an emergency. You can tow with peace of mind without sacrificing a comfortable ride.


Tuson DirecLink brake controller

Real-Time Diagnostics

Because the DirecLink is direcly connected to your vehicle's computer, it is able to access its data and offer a large range of diagnostics, including:


  • Trailer connection
  • Tow vehicle battery voltage
  • OBD-II network connection integrity
  • Brake controller ground and power connection
  • Brake switch voltage
  • Blue wire voltage and current output
  • Blue wire short
  • Engine RPM
  • Transmission temperature (only available for Ford and GM vehicles using VPW/PWM network protocols)

Simple Installation

With a vehicle-specfic harness, the DirecLink offers an easy, plug-and-play installation. If no custom harness is available for your vehicle, use the included wiring harness to hardwire directly into your vehicle's wiring, and then plug into the controller. The other harness on the DirecLink plugs right into the OBD-II connection port on your vehicle. Once you plug this harness in, the DirecLink will automatically configure to your vehicle's system.


The DirecLink can be mounted at any orientation, so you can install it wherever's convenient for you. Use the included cable ties and the corner holes to secure the main unit to a stable location where it won't shift or move. The remote comes with a flush dash mount and a swivel dash mount with adhesive so you can put it on your dash with no drilling required.


Installation Accessories

See etrailer.com's exclusive 7-way upgrade kit for brake controller installation (ETBC7 - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.

Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Pigtail - GM
part number: 3015-S

Streamline the installation of your trailer brake controller with this custom adapter. Simply connect the wires of the harness to your brake controller and then plug the other end into the junction box beneath your vehicle's dash.

Features:

  • Pigtail wiring adapter eases installation of your electric trailer brake controller
  • Connector end plugs into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle
  • Wire end connects to the wires on your brake controller with the included butt connectors
    • Compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers from TrailerMate, Draw-Tite, and Tekonsha
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Installation of Tekonsha Brake Controller Adapter

To install your electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.


Installation 1Installation 2

This adapter plugs into the port that is built into the electric junction box beneath your vehicle's dash. The black box is located to the left of the steering column, just above the carpet. To plug in the adapter, first remove the cover on the box. The adapter plugs into the second slot from the left, on the top row.


To hook this adapter up to your trailer brake controller, just connect the 4 wires of the harness - ground, power, brake switch, and brake power - to the corresponding wires on the brake controller. If your brake controller came with a plug built into its wiring harness, you will have to cut off the plug and connect to the wires themselves.

etrailer and especially Alex's customer support have been stellar. I needed precise information and help with setting up a new tow vehicle. Alex provided details about brake controllers that started from the ground up and got me into a no nonsense controller that is plug and play. I have not had time to install it yet but it's on my to do list this week as well as installing the new mirrors I also purchased a few weeks back. etrailer gets 5 stars plus!

Great controller and easy to use. The hand held feature makes this tremendously easier to utilize especially through the mountain passes along with being less obtrusive when not in use as you can just disconnect the controller and put it in your storage compartment.



by: Judy01/06/2022

This was very easy to install and wire up. What was not easy was figuring out why I can manually apply my trailer brakes but they do not work when I use the brake pedal. Apparently this is common with early 2000’s GM trucks. The technical people at etrailer were unable to help and I was stuck doing it on my own. Disappointed.

Chevrolet Tahoe

This was a great replacement for the factory wiring. The OEM wiring that came with the Tahoe was about three times longer than it needed to be. This replacement was the perfect length. The connector fit perfectly. The wire gauge was heavier duty than the OEM. The only things I didn't use in the kit were the crimp connectors. I chose to solder.

  • On a 2004 Chevy Tahoe, the right turn signal/brake light fuse for the factory tow package will be labeled RT TRLR ST/TRN. It should be in the instrument panel fuse block located on the driver side in the cab. This is according to a copy of the owners manual I found online. Check your owners manual to be sure. If you change the fuse and it does not help then there are some tests you can do to determine what might be causing the issue. Start by disconnecting the trailer from the vehicle.

You could also give the fuse block a quick check to see if it is clearly identified.
