It sounds like you meant to type the ER code that would be on an Activator IV part # 5504. That indicates that there is an internal problem and the controller would need to be replaced.

For a brake controller replacement I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.

As Jameson mentioned above, the "ER" message indicates an internal fault on the controller that requires a full replacement. Unfortunately there's not any troubleshooting you can do to clear out or resolve this error.
