Note

C13A6

Open or Short Circuit in Motor

One of the following conditions are met:

Detection conditions (1)

  1. Ignition switch ON or electric parking brake switch (integration control and panel assembly) assembly pulled to lock side with ignition switch off.
  2. Power supply voltage and +B voltage are normal, but motor circuit is malfunctioning for approximately 1 to 2 seconds.

Detection conditions (2)

  • With the ignition switch off, an overcurrent malfunction is continuously detected for 1 second or more

Detection conditions (3)

  • With the ignition switch ON and an overcurrent malfunction being continuously detected, the parking brake is locked and released 3 times
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Parking brake wire assembly
  • Parking brake actuator assembly
  • Parking brake ECU assembly

Yes

An electric parking brake system malfunction is displayed on the multi-information display.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • The electric parking brake may still operate up to 20 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off. Before disconnecting connectors or fuses, turn the ignition switch off and wait 20 seconds or more.
  • 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 ignition switch is first turned to ON.

PROCEDURE

1.

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (RH ACTUATOR CURRENT STATUS / LH ACTUATOR CURRENT STATUS)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / Electric Parking Brake / Data List.

(f) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.
