If the boost level is on, it will brake some even if the tow vehicle is not braking, right? I know on my P2 it takes little to no tow vehicle braking to feel the trailer brakes come on if it is on Boost 1 or 2.
Yes, I run mine on Boost 2 so I get good lead in. The function of the boost is to lead the TV brakes, so when the brake lights come on, the P2 grabs the TT brakes right away in anticipation that the TV is braking. If the P2 doesn't detect TV deceleration immediately after activation it will release the TT brakes accordingly. So a tap of the brakes that is enough to make the brake lights come on will cause the TT brakes to grab initially, but if the TV isn't decelerating, the P2 backs off the TT brakes. This wouldn't have been enough braking action in this instance to account t=for how the TT straightened out IMO.
