IDB_a055 — Panic Brake Assist Faulted

Full alert identifier: IDB_a055_panicBrakeAssistFaulted

Alert description

PBA may be unavailable.

Potential impact

The IDB may not increase brake torque above the current request in response to fast brake pedal inputs. The brake pedal must be pressed firmly and continuously to stop during emergency braking. The vehicle should be driven with extreme caution.

Set condition

The IDB detects a condition that precludes panic brake assist function. This alert may be accompanied by causal hardware alerts (for example, MicroController Unit [MCU], ASIC, solenoid valve, pump, wheel speed sensor, hydraulics) or signal alerts (Intertial Measurement Unit [IMU] measurement).

Clear condition

Clears when the Integrated Dynamic Brake (IDB) detects that any conditions precluding panic brake assist function are no longer present while the vehicle is parked.
