DTC C028F

Left Park Brake Actuator Circuit

For symptom byte information, refer to: Symptom Byte List.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The Electronic Brake Control Module will diagnose the park brake motor circuits to verify that they are functioning properly. The park brake motor circuits are used to command actuator motor operation, which will apply and release the parking brake. These circuits are used to activate the actuator, which applies or releases pressure on the rear caliper pistons, ultimately applying and releasing the park brake.

When the Park Brake Switch is pulled, a signal is sent to the Electronic Brake Control Module which will supply 12 V to the apply control circuits and ground to the release control circuits which will cause the left and right park brake actuators to activate causing the park brakes to engage. When the Park Brake Switch is pressed, a signal is sent to the Electronic Brake Control Module which will supply 12 V to the released control circuits and ground to the apply control circuits which will cause the left and right park brake actuators to activate causing the park brakes to release.

Conditions for Running the DTC

• Ignition OFF, ACCESSORY, or RUN mode.
• Battery voltage is between 9 - 16 V

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The Electronic Brake Control Module detects a malfunction in the left park brake actuator or its circuits.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The parking brake is disabled, one release allowed.
• A message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• The Electronic Brake Control Module will clear the DTC after 40 consecutive ignition on/off cycles with at least one test pass in each ignition cycle and no test fail result.
• The condition for the DTC is no longer present.

Diagnostic Aids

After repairing any fault, the DTC will still be set as current and the park brakes will not function. It is necessary to clear the DTC with a scan tool in order to place the DTC in history and regain park brake function.
