Title: Air Powered (SAAR) Park Brake Troubleshooting (Service "P" Light Coming on)
Applies To: All HPV with Air Powered Park Brake (SAAR)

DESCRIPTION
The SAAR parking brake is an air powered parking brake for hydraulic brake vehicles. Unlike the hydraulic powered parking brake
(SAHR) used on school buses, the air SAAR parking brake is controlled by the ESC.

TROUBLESHOOTING
On the Pre-2007 trucks with ESC's, the Service P
light would go out whenever the DTC went inactive. On the Post-2007 trucks with Body Controllers(BC),
the Service P light will stay on even after the code goes inactive. So in order to get the light to go out,
you need to clear all inactive codes.

1. Is this a problem with the auto-apply only? The auto-apply potion of this parking brake is hard wired and
has nothing to do with the ESC or BC. There is a switch in the shifter that grounds a solenoid which
dumps the air out of the SAAR can, allowing the spring to apply the park brake. See the circuit diagrams
below.

2. Does the parking brake actually work? Does it apply and release with the switch? If the parking brake is
actually working with the switch, that tells you that the mechanical and air part of the system is working
properly and you have an electrical problem.

3. Monitor the Park_Brake_SAAR_Travel_Signal and Park_Brake_Switch_Signal in DLB. If the Service P
light is coming on, it's because these 2 signals do not agree. You need to figure out which one is wrong
and then troubleshoot that circuit.

park brakes have this feature.
