The electric parking brake control module has an internal motor, apply actuator, release actuator, and temperature sensor. The electric parking brake control module also contains the logic for applying and releasing the parking brake when commanded by the electric parking brake switch. When the electric parking brake control module receives a signal from the switch the internal circuit board temperature is checked to verify it is within operating range before the control module performs the requested operation.
Ignition OFF, ACCESSORY, or RUN mode.
The electric parking brake control module detects a short to battery or a short to ground.
The electric parking brake control module has detected an internal temperature that is above the allowed value.
• | A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed. |
• | The electric parking brake is disabled, one release allowed. |
• | The electric parking brake control module clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 ignition cycles. |
• | The electric parking brake control module is replaced or the internal temperature drops below the allowed temperature. |
Check for debris on the electric parking brake control module which may cause the module to overheat.

Remove the EPB fuse and reinstall. Verify DTC C0574 is not set.
⇒ | If DTC is set, replace the electric parking brake control module. |
Note: Diagnose all other parking brake control module system related faults before performing this diagnostic. Other faults may cause the circuit board to overheat. Do not attempt to apply the electric parking brake.
⇒ | If DTC is set, replace the electric parking brake module. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
