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 also contains an internal park brake motor position sensor which monitors the internal park brake motor position.

The Park Brake Motor Position Sensor is an internal sensor to the electric park brake controller, this sensor is used to monitor internal park brake motor position.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition OFF, ACCESSORY, or RUN mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The electric parking brake module detects an internal motor position sensor signal malfunction.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The electric parking brake is disabled, one release allowed.

* 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.
