DTC Descriptors

DTC C0561 71
- System Disabled Information Stored-Invalid Serial Data Received

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. The parking brake module will verify it has a valid signal from other modules before it performs the requested operation.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Vehicle OFF, Vehicle in Service Mode, Vehicle ON, or Engine Running.

* Battery voltage is between 9-16 V

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The parking brake control module receives an invalid serial data message or does not receive a serial data message from another module.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

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

* The electric parking brake functionality is degraded.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

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

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 the scan tool park brake control module Invalid Signal Identification parameters are all Valid.

If any parameter is Invalid
Refer to the appropriate subsection in which the failure occurred. Refer to Symptoms - Vehicle Symptoms - Vehicle

If all parameters are Valid

4. All OK.
