I finally got an IID tool, and after doing my first scan, i have 1 code that i kind of expected since my parking brake does not work. The replacement of the module seems like a daunting task that I would love to avoid.
Symptoms:
I get a loud screeching when parking brake is [attempted] to be applied.
Parking brake does not engage
Error message on dash appears.
Temporary solution:
A combination of clearing codes, pulling on brake release cable, and restarting the car remove the dash light.
IID code: U0128-00 (2E) Lost communication with parking brake control module
Even though i get the loud screech when activating the brake, which usually signifies the actuator is the problem, this code makes me wonder if my parking brake failure is due to an electronic problem rather than mechanical.
Does anyone have any additional suggestions to diagnose this?
So far I plan to:
Confirm parking brake shoes are adjusted properly.
Apply/test parking brake
Run unjam procedure
If the above steps do not work, does it 100% confirm the EPB actuator is bad? or is there another electrical module that could be causing the issue?...that may be easier to replace.
Thanks in advance.
