Parking Brake - Overview: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The parking brake system uses 2 switch activated, Electronic Control Unit (ECU) controlled motors to apply and release the rear brake calipers. The ABS module controls and monitors the parking brake system and sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) when a fault is present in the system. The IPC illuminates the parking brake warning indicator and displays a message in the message center when a fault is present, when the parking brakes are applied and when they are released.
