Where is the parking module of the Southeast DX7 located?

The parking module of the Southeast DX7 is located behind the air conditioning compressor, and the compressor needs to be removed to see it. Here is some information about the parking module: Principle: The professional term for the Southeast DX7 handbrake is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the brake, it uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the car. Long-term use of the handbrake will cause the steel wire to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake travel will also increase. Matching: For the Southeast DX7 handbrake module, it is recommended to go to an auto repair shop to read the fault codes with a computer, check whether the electronic handbrake actuator is damaged, and then perform the handbrake module matching.
Speaking of my Soueast DX7, the parking module is usually located in the rear section of the vehicle, typically hidden near the side of the trunk or around the chassis, beneath the inner fender liner close to the left rear wheel. I remember once when helping a friend with car repairs, we lifted the rear seat backrest and carpet, and found it on the left side of the spare tire well. This component is primarily responsible for controlling the electronic parking brake. If there are braking issues when parking, it might be due to signal faults in the module or water ingress. During routine checks, it's best not to delve too deeply yourself; it's safer to let a professional technician use diagnostic tools. By the way, the location might vary depending on the model year—for instance, early versions had it under the glove box, but most DX7 models have it at the rear, where dust tends to accumulate, so regular cleaning is advised.
