It's a pendulum type. Check to see that the pendulum is properly adjusted.

Sounds like either the controller bit the dust or it lost its' signal coming from the brake pedal/stop light switch.

My old Energize eventually started doing that as the potentiometer inside started wearing. The proportional braking never disappeared completely, it just got more erratic than normal.
 I limped it along for a while by changing the level setting a bit, so the contact would catch it in a different place. I finally decided I might as well move up into the 90s, so I replaced it with a Prodigy.
