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 also diagnose the internal park brake motor circuit to verify it is functioning properly. The park brake motor circuit is used to command motor operation, apply and release tension on the parking brake cable, which will apply and release the parking brake.
The electric park brake will self diagnose the internal Park Brake Motor Circuit. This circuit is used to drive the motor, which pulls on the electric park brake cable, ultimately applying and releasing the park brake.
