DTC C0558 5A
- Calibration Data Not Plausible

Circuit/System Description

The parking brake control module has an internal motor, apply actuator, release actuator, and temperature sensor. The parking brake control module also contains the logic for applying and releasing the parking brake when commanded by the park brake control switch. When the 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.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition OFF, ACCESSORY, or RUN mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0558 55

The parking brake control module detects a calibration malfunction.

C0558 5A

The parking brake control module detects mechanical problems with the parking brake system.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

C0558 55
* The electric parking brake is disabled, switch command will not be accepted.
* A message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.

C0558 5A
* The electric parking brake is disabled, one release allowed.
* A message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The parking brake control module clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 ignition cycles.
* Calibrate the parking brake control module.

Diagnostic Aids

* Verify the parking brake control module software and calibrations are the newest available versions.
* Verify the parking brake cable is not broken or pinched.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, command the Park Brake Cable Service Apply ON with a scan tool. Verify the Park Brake Cable Position parameter is below 1250 counts.

• If greater than the specified value, make sure the park brake cable is connected properly and check park brake linings for excessive wear, and ensure proper clearance to drum.

2. Verify DTC C0558 is not set.

• If DTC is set, perform the Park Brake Calibration procedure in Configuration/Reset Functions.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
