DTC Descriptors

DTC C0574 00
- Printed Circuit Board Temperature Sensor Malfunction

DTC C0574 01
- Printed Circuit Board Temperature Sensor Short to Battery

DTC C0574 02
- Printed Circuit Board Temperature Sensor Short to Ground

Circuit/System Description

The parking brake control module has an internal motor, apply actuator, release actuator, and temperature sensor. The parking brake control module also contains the logic for applying and releasing the parking brake when commanded by the park brake control switch. When the 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.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition OFF, ACCESSORY, or RUN mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0574 01 or C0574 02

The parking brake control module detects a short to battery or a short to ground.

C0574 00 or C0574 54

The parking brake control module has detected an internal temperature that is above the allowed value.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* A message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed.

* The park brake is disabled, one release allowed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The parking brake control module clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 40 ignition cycles.

* The parking brake control module is replaced or the internal temperature drops below the allowed temperature.

Diagnostic Aids

* Check for debris on the parking brake control module which may cause the module to overheat.

* 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 park brake.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON.

2. Verify no additional DTCs are set in other control modules.

If additional DTCs are set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle

If no additional DTCs are set

3. Verify that DTC C0574 01 or C0574 02 is not set.

If DTC C0574 01 or C0574 02 is set

1. Ignition OFF. Remove the parking brake control module fuse and reinstall. Ignition ON.

2. Verify DTC C0574 01 or C0574 02 is not set.

If the DTC is set, replace the K83 parking brake control module.

If the DTC is not set

3. All OK.

If DTC C0574 01 or C0574 02 is not set

4. Allow the K83 parking brake control module to cool down for 15 minutes.

5. Verify the scan tool Calculated System Temperature parameter is less than 105° C.

If 105° C or greater
Replace the K83 parking brake control module.

If less than 105° C

6. All OK.
