Overview

The parking brake system uses 2 actuator switches and electronic control unit (ECU) controlled motors to apply and release the rear brake calipers. The ABS module monitors and controls the parking brake system and sets diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) when a fault is present in the system. The PCM illuminates the parking brake indicator and displays a message in the message center when a fault is present and when the parking brake is applied and released.
