Pinpoint Test F: DTC C1094/C1782: Park Brake Apply/Release Switch Circuit Failure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multimeter probes.
- F1 CHECK THE EPB SWITCH
- Disconnect the battery.
- Disconnect: EPB Switch C3218.
- Measure the resistance between EPB switch C3218-8, component side and C3218-5, component side while the EPB switch is in the idle position and between the EPB switch C3218-4, component side and C3218-5, component side while the EPB switch is in the idle position.
- Measure the resistance between the EPB switch C3218-8 and C3218-5 while the EPB switch is in the apply position and between the EPB switch C3218-4 and C3218-5 while the EPB switch is in the release position.
- Is the resistance between 149-153 ohms in the apply position and between 597 - 609 ohms in the idle position?
- Yes : GO to F2.
- No : INSTALL a new EPB switch. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. RESET the EPB system. REFER to ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) RESETTING .
- F2 CHECK CIRCUIT 8-CG15 (WH/BU) FOR A SHORT TO POWER
- Measure the voltage between the EPB switch C3218-8 circuit 8-CG15 (WH/BU), harness side and ground.
- Is battery voltage present?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. RESET the EPB module. REFER to ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) RESETTING . REPEAT the self-test.
- No : GO to F3.
- F3 CHECK CIRCUIT 8-CG15 (WH/BU) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: EPB Module C4205b.
- Measure the resistance between the EPB module C4205b-5 circuit 8-CG15 (WH/BU), harness side and the EPB switch C3218-8 circuit 8-CG15 (WH/BU), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to F4.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. RESET the EPB system. REFER to ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) RESETTING .
- F4 CHECK CIRCUIT 10-CG15 (GY/VT) FOR A SHORT TO POWER
- Measure the voltage between the EPB switch C3218-4 circuit 10-CG15 (GY/VT), harness side and ground.
- Is battery voltage present?
- Yes : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. RESET the EPB system. REFER to ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) RESETTING .
- No : GO to F5.
- F5 CHECK CIRCUIT 10-CG15 (GY/VT) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between the EPB module C4205b-6 circuit 10-CG15 (GY/VT), harness side and the EPB switch C3218-4 circuit 10-CG15 (GY/VT), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new EPB module. REFER to PARKING BRAKE . REPEAT the self-test. RESET the EPB system. REFER to ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) RESETTING .
- No : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. RESET the EPB system. REFER to ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) RESETTING .
