Troubleshooting item

Electric parking brake automatic release function during acceleration operation too early/late on slope

Description
• Electric parking brake is released too early when the electric parking brake automatic release function during acceleration is operated on a slope.
• Electric parking brake is released too late when the electric parking brake automatic release function during acceleration is operated on a slope.
Possible cause
• DSC HU/CM malfunction
• Back-up light switch connector or terminal malfunction
• Back-up light switch malfunction
• Open circuit in back-up light switch ground circuit
• PCM connector or terminal malfunction
• Short to ground in back-up light switch signal circuit
• Short to power supply in back-up light switch signal circuit
• PCM malfunction
• Open circuit in back-up light switch signal circuit



Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Results

Action

1
VERIFY ALL SYSTEM DTCs
• Switch the ignition off.
• Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on) and wait for 10 s or more.
• Perform a DTC inspection using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION.)
• Are any DTCs displayed?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
Go to the next step.
2
VERIFY IF THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS TURNED ON
• Verify if the electric parking brake warning light is turned on.
• Is the electric parking brake warning light turned on?
Yes
Perform an inspection referring to “ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON”.
No
ATX:
• Replace the DSC HU/CM, and perform the repair completion verification. (See DSC HU/CM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L.H.D. (US)].)
MTX:
• Go to the next step.
3
VERIFY IF BACK-UP LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED
• Shift the shift lever to the reverse position.
• Are the back-up lights illuminated?
Yes
Replace the DSC HU/CM, and perform the repair completion verification.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH CONNECTOR CONDITION
• Switch the ignition off.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [(US)].)
• Disconnect the back-up light switch connector.
• Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, and perform the repair completion verification.
5
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH
• Inspect the back-up light switch. (See BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH INSPECTION.)
• Is the back-up light switch normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the back-up light switch, and perform the repair completion verification.
6
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Inspect the ground circuit for an open circuit. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.)
• Is the circuit normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location, and perform the repair completion verification.
7
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
• Disconnect the PCM connector.
• Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, and perform the repair completion verification.
8
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Inspect the signal circuit for a short to ground. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.)
• Is the circuit normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location, and perform the repair completion verification.
9
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
• Inspect the signal circuit for a short to power supply. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.)
• Is the circuit normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location, and perform the repair completion verification.
10
INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Inspect the signal circuit for an open circuit. (See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.)
• Is the circuit normal?
Yes
Replace the PCM, and perform the repair completion verification.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location, and perform the repair completion verification.
Repair completion verification
VERIFY THAT MALFUNCTION SYMPTOMS DO NOT RECUR AFTER REPAIR
• Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.
• Has the malfunction symptom been eliminated?
Yes
Complete the symptom troubleshooting.
Explain to the customer what has been repaired.
No
Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error.
If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1.
