Characterized in that it comprises a.
In the present invention, when the input load value reaches the preset load value, the controller breaks the cable opposite the tension sensor when the input motor drive current value at the time of reaching is equal to or greater than the preset motor drive current value. If the input load value does not reach the preset load value, if the measured driving time of the motor exceeds the preset time, if there is no change in the load value, it is determined as a cable failure on the tension sensor side. Characterized in that.
The present invention, it characterized in that it further comprises a warning light that is turned on when it is determined that the cable failure in the control unit.
Cable failure diagnosis method of the EPB system according to an aspect of the present invention, the control unit receives a load value from the tension sensor after driving the motor according to the operation signal of the parking brake input; When the load value reaches a preset load value, receiving a motor driving current value at the reached time point; And determining, by the controller, whether a cable is broken by comparing a preset motor driving current value with the motor driving current value. Characterized in that it comprises a.
In the present invention, the determining of the failure of the cable may include determining that the cable is opposite to the tension sensor when the motor drive current value is greater than or equal to the preset motor drive current value.
In the present invention, the step of receiving a load value from the tension sensor, if the load value does not reach a predetermined load value, measuring the driving time of the motor, and the driving time of the motor exceeds a predetermined time If so, characterized in that it comprises the step of determining whether the load value changes.
In the present invention, the step of determining whether or not the change in the load value, if there is no change in the load value is determined as a cable failure of the tension sensor, if there is a change in the load value it is determined that the motor failure and the tension sensor failure It is done.
The present invention, if it is determined that the failure of the cable as a result of the cable failure, the step of lighting a warning light; And further comprising:
In the present invention, the preset motor driving current value is within 6A to 8A.
According to the present invention as described above, by monitoring the motor drive current to detect the failure of the cable on the tension sensor side as well as the cable on the opposite side of the tension sensor, when the failure is detected by saving the warning light and the trouble code for more accurate information for troubleshooting It can provide safe operation by warning the driver in case of trouble and taking quick action.
