System Disabled Information Stored-Invalid Serial Data Received

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 park 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. The parking brake module will verify it has a valid signal from other modules before it performs the requested operation.

Conditions for Running the DTC


• Ignition OFF, ACCESSORY, or RUN mode.

• Battery voltage is between 9-16V
