Where is the electronic parking brake control module located on the Changan CS75?

[DiOscar]

"The electronic parking brake module of the Changan CS75 is located behind the manual gear lever, in the upper part of the center console box. When parking, press the electronic parking brake button to engage the parking brake. Working principle of the electronic parking brake: The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Electronic parking brake technology: The electronic parking brake is also known as the electronic parking brake system. The electronic parking brake system integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control technology. Functions of the electronic parking brake: The electronic parking brake extends from the basic parking function to the automatic parking function AUTO-HOLD. The application of the AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function technology eliminates the need for drivers to maintain prolonged braking when the vehicle is stopped."

I've been driving the Changan CS75 for several years and noticed the electronic parking brake control module is basically located near the center console armrest. If you look down near the gearshift lever area, you can feel a small black box. You might not pay much attention to it during daily use, but if the parking brake fails someday, it's easy to associate with this module. This component controls the entire electronic parking system, containing wiring and sensors connected to the brake actuator. The positioning is designed this way for convenient wiring layout. During repairs, if disassembly is required, be careful not to scratch the plastic trim of the center console. If the module malfunctions, the vehicle will display a warning light on the dashboard – it's recommended not to tamper with it yourself but instead take it directly to a 4S shop for inspection. During routine maintenance, you can check whether the connectors are loose to prevent water ingress and corrosion during rainy days. Overall, the accessible location makes daily maintenance quite convenient for us owners.

As an ordinary car owner, I think the electronic parking brake control module in the Changan CS75 is hidden under the center console. You can see it by lifting the lining of the armrest box or the trim panel under the seat. It's designed in this location to reduce vibration impact and prevent malfunctions on bumpy roads. When in use, it works silently, processing the release and locking signals of the parking brake. If the module's position is moved or obstructed, it may lead to misoperations, such as the parking brake not responding or delayed response. I once encountered a similar issue, and upon inspection, found that dust accumulation caused loose contacts. It's recommended to clean the surrounding area of debris every six months to avoid blocking the cooling vents. If it really needs repair, beginners should avoid forcibly dismantling it to prevent triggering the airbag module. Remembering its location can save a lot of trouble.

The location of the electronic parking brake control module is crucial. In the Changan CS75 model, it is usually fixed in a small space behind the gear lever area or under the driver's seat. This module coordinates communication between the parking brake motor and the computer, and its proximity to the driver's side ensures quick response to operations. During daily use, if you don't hear the slight clicking sound when it operates, it might indicate a malfunction. Why is it placed there? To reduce wiring length, minimize signal delay, and lower energy consumption. For DIY inspection, you can use a flashlight for a preliminary check, but avoid using a wet cloth to prevent short circuits. Related systems like the ABS module are also nearby, so keeping the area clean and dust-free is important. An improper location can affect its lifespan, so it's recommended to read the manual thoroughly before use.
