Circuit/System Description For an overview of the component/system, refer to: Electronic Parking Brake Description

Circuit Description
Control — Terminal 12 The output circuit is switched from ground to 12 V to activate the component.
Control — Terminal 13 The output circuit is switched from ground to 12 V to activate the component.
Component Description
M104R Parking Brake Actuator - Right The park brake function uses the same brake pads as the operational brake in the rear calipers. An electric motor in each caliper is used to apply and release the brake pads.
Component Description
K160 Brake System Control Module The control module K160 can increase and decrease the brake pressure on all 4 wheels individually in order to fulfill these functions: Antilock Braking Traction Control Vehicle Stability Control

Conditions for Running the DTC Ignition = On System Voltage = 9 to 16 V Conditions for Setting the DTC M104R Parking Brake Actuator - Right = Malfunction Right Park Brake Actuator Circuit = Malfunction Actions Taken When the DTC Sets Parking Brake Actuator = Disabled A message and/or warning indicator may be displayed to the driver. Conditions for Clearing the DTC The conditions for setting the DTC no longer exist. A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles. Diagnostic Aids The park brake is disabled as long as the DTC is set. It might be necessary to clear the DTC with a scan tool after repairing the fault to make the park brake work again.
