An electronic park brake module for use with a vehicle is disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the electronic park brake module includes, but is not limited to, a processor and an electronic memory unit. The processor and the electronic memory unit are configured to cooperate to determine when a user has made a request for dynamic electronic park braking, to determine whether the user has a first intent or a second intent when requesting dynamic electronic park braking, to send a first command causing a first amount of braking force to be applied when the first intent has been determined, and to send a second command causing a second amount of braking force to be applied when the second intent has been determined.

Electronic park brake module and system and method for use

A control system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes an operation control module, a fault detection module, a remedial action module, and a reset module. The operation control module controls operation of a vehicle system. The fault detection module detects a fault in the operation control module when the operation control module fails an integrity test. The remedial action module takes a remedial action when the fault is detected. The reset module resets the operation control module when the fault is detected and the remedial action is not taken.
