2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Parking Brake Activation Switch Replacement Cost in Houston, TX

When the parking brake button is pressed, it sends a signal through a wire to the parking brake control module. This control module will determine the meaning of the incoming signal, and then output a signal to the parking brake control motor to set the parking brakes. Once the parking brakes are set, the brake rotors will be locked in position so the tires will be unable to move. Next, when the driver would like to move the vehicle, the parking brake release function is used, and that sends an opposing signal to the parking brake control module. The parking brake control module, again, interprets the signal, and signals the parking brake control motor to release the parking brakes. The rotors are now free to move, and the wheels and tires can rotate freely.
