DTC C2202-01: Latching Failure/Mechanics: General Description

The EPB is the acronym for Electric Parking Brake system. The conventional parking brake systems are muscular-energy brake systems and are operated by purely mechanical means via lockable hand levers or foot pedals or via a crank gear. In Electric Parking Brake (EPB) systems, the control (operating) force is generated by an electric drive. Operation and control are effected electrically by means of a switch. The EPB can only be operated when the vehicle is stationary.
