Narrative:
During takeoff; the #2 propeller went into feather. I aborted the takeoff and returned to the ramp. Maintenance told me to do a run-up with the automatic takeoff power control system off; because he suspected that it was sending a wrong electronic signal. I did the run-up with the automatic takeoff power control system on and off and both engines were operating normally. I concluded that since the aircraft's electrical system had been reset; the situation was corrected. I discussed the situation with the first officer and we both felt that it was safe to fly.
