Ford Escape: Parking Brake and Actuation / Description and Operation - Parking Brake - Overview
Overview
The
parking brake system uses 2 switch activated, Electronic Control Unit
(ECU) controlled motors to apply and release the rear brake calipers.
The ABS module controls and
monitors the parking brake system and sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) when a fault is present in the system. The IPC
illuminates the parking brake warning indicator and displays a message
in the message center when a fault is present and when the parking
brakes are applied and released.
