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.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition OFF, ACCESSORY, or RUN mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The electric parking brake control module has detected an internal software malfunction.

Actions Taken When DTC Sets
C056E 41, C056E 5A

* The electric parking brake is disabled.
* A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.

C056E 42

* The electric parking brake functionality is degraded.
* A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The electric parking brake control 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 control module.
