ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE [(E)]


id0412003001x2

Without Mazda M Hybrid System

Outline

•  By operating the electric parking brake switch located on the upper panel, the electric parking brake is applied/released electronically.
•  Secure holding force with minimum operation of the electric parking brake switch has been realized by motorizing the parking brake.
•  With the addition of an electric parking brake automatic release function, forgetting to release the parking brake before driving is prevented by depressing the accelerator pedal.
•  Because the parking brake has been motorized, adjustment is unnecessary.

Functions


Electric parking brake apply/release

•  Controls the apply/release of the electric parking brake based on the input signal from the electric parking brake switch.


Electric parking brake automatic release function

•  Releases the electric parking brake automatically when the vehicle starts from a standstill.


Emergency braking function

•  The function generates braking force by pulling up the electric parking brake switch while the vehicle is driven.
•  When the electric parking brake switch is pulled up while the vehicle is driven, the DSC HU/CM pressurizes the brake fluid to generate braking force. If a malfunction occurs in the DSC system and the brake fluid cannot be pressurized, the electric parking brake operates to generate braking force.


Electric parking brake automatic operation function

•  This function operates the electric parking brake automatically in conjunction with the ignition being switched OFF.
•  The automatic operation can be canceled by the driverÅfs operation. As a result, the ignition can be switched OFF without operating the electric parking brake when towing.


Electric parking brake automatic operation function (during AUTOHOLD operation)

•  The electric parking brake operates automatically based on the DSC HU/CM request during AUTOHOLD operation.
Note
•  The electric parking brake automatic release function is used to release the electric parking brake during AUTOHOLD operation.


Electric parking brake display function

•  The DSC HU/CM notifies the driver of the system conditions using an electric parking brake indicator light, electric parking brake chime, center display, and multi-information display.
Note
•  A warning message in the center display is displayed when the brake control system warning light/electric parking brake indicator light turns on or flashes. For the message content and verification method, refer to the [CENTER DISPLAY] in the workshop manual.


Maintenance mode

•  By switching to the maintenance mode when replacing the rear disc pads or rear disc plates, the electric parking brake motor gear unit motor will operate to allow the brake pistons to be pressed in. For details on the method for switching to the maintenance mode, refer to the [MAINTENANCE MODE] in the workshop manual.


Electric parking brake inspection mode

•  The electric parking brake inspection mode is a function that prevents the vehicle from suddenly flying off the brake tester by gradually strengthening the clamp power of the parking brake when the rear wheel speed is between 3 km/h {2 mph} and 12 km/h {7.5 mph} for a continuous 3 s or more while using a brake tester with rollers that have a fast rotation speed. When all the operation conditions are met, the normal mode switches to the electric parking brake inspection mode automatically. In addition, normal electric parking brake control is performed when using a brake tester with a rear wheel speed of less than 3 km/h {2 mph}. For details on the operation conditions and the control content, refer to the [SERVICE CAUTIONS] in the workshop manual.


Automatic configuration function

•  When the ignition is switched ON after the DSC HU/CM has been replaced, the DSC HU/CM reads the data from the instrument cluster via CAN communication and performs the configuration.

2.  The motor operates (3) and generates braking force by the motor operation current. (The motor rotates towards the engagement side)
Note
•  For vehicle speeds of 5 km/h {3 mph} or more, independent anti-lock control on the left and right is performed so that the rear wheels do not lock-up.
•  When the vehicle speed is 3 km/h {2 mph} or less, the emergency braking function does not operate so that the system can determine if the vehicle is about to stop.
•  If the ABS control is detected while the emergency braking function is operating, control of the emergency braking function is canceled.
