      • If infinite resistance
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω and the fuse is blown, replace the K83 parking brake control module.
    • If greater than 11.5 V 
  6. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 V between the circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • B+ circuit terminal N
    • B+ circuit terminal R
    • B+ circuit terminal S
    • Signal circuit terminal B
    • Signal circuit terminal C
    • Signal circuit terminal D
    • If 1 V or greater 

      Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

    • If less than 1 V 
  7. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Signal circuit terminal B
    • Signal circuit terminal C
    • Signal circuit terminal D
    • If less than infinite resistance 

      Repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    • If infinite resistance 
  8. Test for less than 5 Ω between the signal circuit terminal D and the B+ circuit terminal R.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S91 park brake control switch.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit terminal D end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, test or replace the S91 park brake control switch.
    • If less than 5 Ω 
  9. Test for less than 5 Ω between the signal circuit terminal B and the B+ circuit terminal S.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S91 park brake control switch.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit terminal B end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, test or replace the S91 park brake control switch.
    • If less than 5 Ω 
  10. Test for less than 5 Ω between the signal circuit terminal C and the B+ circuit terminal N.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S91 park brake control switch.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit terminal C end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, test or replace the S91 park brake control switch.
    • If less than 5 Ω 
  11. Replace the K83 parking brake control module.

C0293 00 or C0293 08

  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify no additional DTCs are set in other control modules.
    • If no additional DTCs are set 
  3. Verify DTC C0293 00 or C0293 08 is not set.
    • If DTC C0293 00 or C0293 08 is set 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the parking brake control module fuse and reinstall, ignition ON.
    2. Verify DTC C0293 00 or C0293 08 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 C0293 00 or C0293 08 is not set 
  4. All OK.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
