not supposed to. IF the brake controller is an inertia based controller. The TV, and TT have to be moving for the brakes to be applied thru the brake pedal. Now if it is a Prodigy, and you have the boost set to 3. The brakes will apply for a instant, until the BC figures out the TV is not moving, then it will release.
The lever of course over rides, and sends power to the brakes. But the TV pedal won't. An inertia controller senses how fast the TV is decelerating, and sends the correct amount of power to the TT brakes to mirror the TV deceleration. No TV deceleration, No power is sent. No brakes needed.
