      • corrosion - install new connector or terminal and clean the module pins
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
      • spread terminals - install new terminals as necessary

    Are the connectors free of corrosion, damaged pins, bent pins, pushed-out pins and spread terminals? 

    Yes  GO to  B9
    No  REPAIR the connector or terminals. Refer to Connector Repair Procedures for schematic and connector information.
  9. B9 CHECK FOR CORRECT EPB (ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE) MODULE OPERATION

    • Connect parking brake switch C2015 . Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
    • Connect all in-line electrical connectors between the EPB module and the parking brake switch. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Connect EPB module C3675 . Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Perform the following steps:
      • Place the parking brake switch in the APPLY position.
      • Release the parking brake switch to the NEUTRAL position.
      • Place the parking brake switch in the RELEASE position.
      • Release the parking brake switch to the NEUTRAL position.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the EPB module Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the EPB module self-test.

    Does DTC U2002:13, U2002:62, U2002:64 or U2002:92 return? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new EPB module. REFER to: Parking Brake Module .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
