CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Before disconnecting connectors or fuses, turn the engine switch off and wait 20 seconds or more.

  • When the electric parking brake switch 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).

  • If the parking brake ECU assembly is replaced, perform the "Reset Memory" and "Acquire Tension Sensor Zero Point" procedures.

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARKING BRAKE ECU ASSEMBLY - ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SWITCH ASSEMBLY)


    1. Disconnect the K19 electric parking brake switch assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the U30 parking brake ECU assembly connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      U30-16 (REL1) - K19-5 (RLS1) Always Below 5 Ω
      U30-13 (REL2) - K19-4 (RLS2) Always Below 5 Ω
      U30-16 (REL1) or K19-5 (RLS1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      U30-13 (REL2) or K19-4 (RLS2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Chassis > Electric Parking Brake > Clear DTCs

    2. Turn the engine switch off.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    4. Perform a release operation with the electric parking brake switch assembly.

      Tech Tips

      When the electric parking brake switch 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).
