General Information: General Description
The EPB system is the shorten word of Electric Parking Brake system. This system is the parking brake device which is used instead of the conventional hand-break system. When a driver presses the EPB button, the EPB actuator is activated and then the parking brake is operated. Also, the SCC is the shorten word of Smart Cruise Control system. This system has a radar sensor on a vehicle and the SCC ECU calculates the distance between cars going in the same direction by the radar sensor. So this SCC system enables a vehicle to drive with maintaining the constant distance from the car ahead or at a constant vehicle speed.
The HECU monitors that the EPB or SCC system is normally controlled according to each control logic.
