US Patent 11760317 System and method for controlling an electronic parking brake

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle having a park-by-brake module that can control an electronic parking brake coupled to the rear wheels of a vehicle. The park-by-brake module is coupled to an antilock brake module by a controller area network architecture. In one example, a first controller area network and a second controller area network are used to couple the park-by-brake module to the antilock brake module. The controller area network architecture allows the park-by-brake module to receive commands from various control modules. Based on the received commands, the park-by-brake module activates or deactivates the electronic parking brake.
