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 (combination switch assembly) is not fully pushed and held to the release side for 1 second or more, only 1 of 2 internal contacts may contact causing a DTC to be stored. This is not a malfunction.

  • When replacing the parking brake ECU assembly, operate the electric parking brake switch (combination switch assembly), as the parking brake indicator light (red) blinks when the engine switch is first turned on (IG).
