C13A4

Open or Short Circuit in Release Switch Circuit

All of following conditions are met:

  1. Power switch on (IG) or electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly) pushed to release side with power switch off.
  2. Terminal REL1 voltage is less than 1.4 V* or more than 9.0 V*; or terminal REL2 voltage is less than 1.4 V* or more than 9.0 V*.
  3. Problem occurs for approximately 1 second.

HINT:

*: This value is based on the assumption that the BECU terminal voltage is 11 V.

The threshold changes according to the BECU terminal voltage.

For details, refer to "Threshold Changes According to BECU Terminal Voltage".

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • The electric parking brake may still operate up to 20 seconds after the power switch is turned off. Before disconnecting connectors or fuses, turn the power switch off and wait 20 seconds or more.
  • When the electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly) is pushed and held for 1 second or more without being pushed fully to the release side, one of the 2 linked contacts may turn on while the other one turns off causing this DTC to be stored (system is not malfunctioning).
  • When replacing the parking brake ECU assembly, operate the electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly) from the lock side to the release side, as the parking brake indicator light blinks when the power switch is first turned on (IG).

PROCEDURE

1.

INSPECT ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SWITCH (INTEGRATION CONTROL AND PANEL ASSEMBLY)

(a) Remove the electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly).
