Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The EPB system applies and releases the parking brake cables using an electric motor and gear connected to the parking brake cables. The cable ends are connected to the rear disc brake caliper lever. The lever applies and releases the brake piston toward or away from rear disc.
