DESCRIPTION

When the electric parking brake switch is pushed to the release side, a release request signal is output to the parking brake ECU.

DTC Code Detection Condition Trouble Area
C13A4/32

All of following conditions are met:


  1. Electric parking brake ECU is ON (power switch is ON (IG), or 15 seconds after power switch is OFF and electric parking brake switch lock control is operating)

  2. Terminal REL1's voltage is less than 1.4 V or more than 9 V; or terminal REL2's voltage is less than 1.4 V* or more than 9 V*

  3. Problem occurs for approx. 1 second

  • Electric parking brake switch

  • Harness or connector

  • Electric parking brake ECU
C13AC/34

Both of following conditions are met:


  1. Electric parking brake ECU is ON (power switch is ON (IG), or 15 seconds after power switch is OFF and electric parking brake switch lock control is operating)

  2. ON/OFF judgment of release switch 1 and release switch 2 does not match for approx. 1 second

  • Electric parking brake switch

  • Harness or connector

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • If the electric parking brake ECU or parking brake with bracket actuator assembly is replaced, perform the "RESET MEMORY" and "ACQUIRE TENSION SENSOR ZERO POINT" procedures Click here.

  • Even after the power switch is turned OFF, the electric parking brake ECU may store a DTC as a result of removing a connector or fuse, as the ECU is still operating. Therefore, during inspection or replacement, turn the power switch OFF and wait for 20 seconds before removing the following: 1) connectors of the electric parking brake ECU, and 2) fuses of the electric parking brake system circuit.

  • The linked double contacts inside the electric parking brake switch may become unlinked (one is off, one is on) if the switch is halfway pushed/pulled. If this condition continues for 1 second or more, this DTC is output.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SWITCH

    2. A01GZ8ZE02

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

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      6 (RLS1) - 8 (GND) OFF 5.51 to 6.09 kΩ
      Release (Pull) 1.045 to 1.115 kΩ
      10 (RLS2) - 8 (GND) OFF 5.51 to 6.09 kΩ
      Release (Pull) 1.045 to 1.115 kΩ

    NG

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SWITCH - ECU AND BODY GROUND)


    1. Disconnect the L39 switch connector.

    2. Disconnect the S48 ECU connector.

    3. A01GW4BE02

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

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L39-6 (RLS1) - S48-16 (REL1) Always Below 5 Ω
      S48-16 (REL1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      L39-10 (RLS2) - S48-13 (REL2) Always Below 5 Ω
      S48-13 (REL2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      L39-8 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 5 Ω

    NG
