WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The parking brake warning chime warns that the parking brake is engaged when the vehicle is in motion. The parking brake warning chime sounds if the ignition is in RUN mode, the parking brake is engaged, and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 km/h (3 mph).
The parking brake warning chime stops sounding if the parking brake is released, the ignition is not in the RUN mode, if the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), or after 90 seconds from the time the chime is activated.
The parking brake warning chime inputs are:
- Ignition state.
- Parking brake switch status communicated by the SJB to the IPC through the MS-CAN.
- Vehicle speed data communicated by the PCM to the SJB through the MS-CAN.
- Parking brake warning chime request communicated by the SJB to the IPC .
