Circuit/System Description
The electric parking brake control module has an internal motor, apply actuator, release actuator, and temperature sensor. The electric parking brake
control module also contains the logic for applying and releasing the parking brake when commanded by the electric parking brake switch. When
the electric parking brake control module receives a signal from the switch the internal circuit board temperature is checked to verify it is within
operating range before the control module performs the requested operation. The electric parking brake module will perform diagnostics on the
modules internal hardware to verify it is functioning properly
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition OFF, ACCESSORY, or RUN mode.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The electric parking brake module detects an internal hardware malfunction.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The electric parking brake is disabled.
* A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* The electric parking brake module clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 ignition cycles.
* The condition for the DTC is no longer present.
* The latest software and calibrations are programmed into the electric parking brake module.
