Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index

Parking Brake Module (PBM)

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle.

NOTE:
If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the Warranty Policy and Procedures manual (section B1.2), or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation of a new module/component.

NOTE:
Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only 5-digit codes. Match the 5 digits from the scan tool to the first 5 digits of the 7-digit code listed to identify the fault (the last 2 digits give extra information read by the manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).

NOTE:
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

NOTE:
Inspect connectors for signs of water ingress, and pins for damage and/or corrosion.

NOTE:
If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.
The table below lists all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that could be logged in the Parking Brake Module, for additional Diagnosis and Testing information refer to the relevant Diagnosis and Testing Section. For additional information, refer to Parking Brake Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Bedding mode is a special mode available in the parking brake module (PBM) that disables the stability assist system (ABS) and allows the parking brake to provide the braking force rather than the conventional braking system whilst the vehicle is moving at a velocity of >3kph. This mode is entered via a series of brake pedal presses and switch applications, full details on this procedure is available in the relevant section of this product. If brake bedding mode is entered accidentally by the driver the RED warning lamp will flash in the Instrument Cluster, the module will return to normal operational mode when the ignition has been cycled. This DTC (C1104-68) is intended to highlight the fact that although the RED lamp was illuminated there was no fault present in the control module.

NOTE:
Where reference is made to a drive cycle test, refer to the relevant Diagnosis and Testing Section.
