Parking Brake Control Module Scan Tool Output Controls
| Output Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Parking Brake Shoe Service Reset | The electric parking brake module will reset the dynamic brake counter. When selected the EPB counter will be set to zero. |
| Parking Brake Calibration | The electric parking brake module will activate the park brake calibration learn procedure when selected. During the learn procedure the rear brakes will cycle several times. |
| Parking Brake Cable Apply | The electric parking brake module will apply the parking brake cable tension to diagnose a possible EPB switch failure. |
| Parking Brake Cable Release | The electric parking brake module will release the parking brake cable to diagnose a possible EPB switch failure. |
| Parking Brake Cable Replacement | The electric parking brake module will unwind the parking brake cable for replacement or service when selected. |
| Parking Brake Actuator DTC Reset | The electric parking brake module will reset the park brake actuator when commanded. |
| Parking Brake Switch Procedure | The electric parking brake module will test the parking brake switch signals to verify they are working properly or if there is an open circuit. |
