ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C13A8/44

DTC Code DTC Name
C13A8/44 Tension Sensor Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The tension sensor is built into the parking brake with bracket actuator assembly. It detects the tension value of the parking brake cable and outputs the value to the electric parking brake ECU.

DTC Code Detection Condition Trouble Area
C13A8/44

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. Tension sensor output value is abnormal; difference between output values of 2 tension sensors is 0.287 kN or more; or tension sensor power supply voltage is abnormal

  3. Problem occurs for approx. 1 second

  • Parking brake with bracket actuator assembly

  • Harness or connector

  • Electric parking brake ECU

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.

  • This DTC may be output if a manual release cable is used. There is no malfunction. Perform the "RESET MEMORY" and "ACQUIRE TENSION SENSOR ZERO POINT" procedures Click here.

PROCEDURE

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the power switch ON (IG) and the tester ON.

    4. Clear the DTC Click here.
