Expert Reply:
The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 has the ability to show a few different voltages when your vehicle is parked.
The first option is your tow vehicle battery voltage which should be at least 12V if not more. The second is output power from the stoplight switch when the brake pedal is pressed which should be 0.00 when you are sitting still (or very low at the most). The third is output power to the brakes. If you are sitting still and using the brake pedal then that will read 0.00 but if you use the manual override it should gradually increase to 12V if you have your max output set to 12V.
