Signal Function

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Ford RV Cutaway, 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PBA switch provides an input signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) indicating the current status of the parking brake (applied or released). The parking brake signal circuit is pulled to ground with the application of the parking brake.
