Parking Brake Switch

The parking brake switch is mounted in the floor console, rearward of the gear selector. The switch has three states:

• Apply: When the switch is pulled up to apply the parking brake
• Release: When the switch is pushed down to release the parking brake
• Neutral: The central default position. The switch returns to this position regardless of parking brake status.

The parking brake switch contains a pair of microswitches for both the apply and release actions. The parking brake control module provides an individual hardwired electrical feed to each of the 4 mircoswitches plus a single ground connection, allowing it to constantly monitor switch status.
