Title: PARKING BRAKE: ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM (for HV Model): C13A9; Brake System Malfunction; 2020 - 2021 MY Avalon HV [08/2019 - 08/2021]

DTC

C13A9

Brake System Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The parking brake ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives the wheel speed signal of each wheel from the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) via CAN communication.

This DTC is stored when a malfunction occurs in the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly).

DTC No.
