| Description of the problem | I recently bought a travel trailer and, after reading the manual, was setting up the integrated brake controller (heretofore referred to as the ibs). I was following the user manual supplied with my truck when i purchased it new step-by-step. I eventually had the gain set to "10" and was still not getting proper braking pressure from the trailer. I got out, checked all connections, restarted the truck and tried again; same issue. I connected a friends tekonsha p3 through my trucks ibc cable (using his cable adapter) and tried again without a problem. This confirms it's not a trailer or wiring issue. I reconnect the ibc and restarted the truck, trying again; same issue. I took it to the dealer and they shrugged their shoulders, said they saw before with no resolve, and suggested i buy an aftermarket brake controller, too. I then looked online and found several hundred others experiencing the same problem, requiring that they buy an aftermarket brake controller to compensate for this one (two links are at the bottom of this complaint). The dealers and toyota are unable/unwilling to do anything. This needs to be addressed. Https://www. Tundras. Com/threads/factory-brake-controller-issues. 5103/ http://www. Tundratalk.
