Electronic Parking Brake Control Module Description

Vehicles with the electric parking brake have a switch in the center console, which takes the place of the manual parking brake system, the foot pedal and release handle. In case of insufficient electrical power, the electric parking brake cannot be applied or released.

System Component Description

The park brake system consists of the following

System Operation

Park brake apply input force is received by activating the electronic parking brake switch signaling the EPB control module, and transfers an evenly distributed force through the parking brake cables and equalizer to the parking brake apply levers. The parking brake apply levers multiply and transfer the input force to the parking brake actuators which expand the parking brake shoes toward the friction surface of the drum-in-hat portion of the rear brake rotors to prevent the rotation of the rear tire and wheel assemblies. The electronic parking brake switch is activated signals the EPB module to release applied input force to the parking brake cables. The EPB module then removes the applied input force and releases the parking brake.

Circuit/System Description

The electric parking brake control module has an internal motor, apply actuator, release actuator, and temperature sensor. The electric parking brake control module also contains the logic for applying and releasing the parking brake when commanded by the electric parking brake switch. When the electric parking brake control module receives a signal from the switch the internal circuit board temperature is checked to verify it is within operating range before the control module performs the requested operation. The electric parking brake module will also diagnose the internal park brake motor circuit to verify it is functioning properly. The park brake motor circuit is used to command motor operation, apply and release tension on the parking brake cable, which will apply and release the parking brake.

The electric park brake will self diagnose the internal Park Brake Motor Circuit. This circuit is used to drive the motor, which pulls on the electric park brake cable, ultimately applying and releasing the park brake.
