ABSTRACT:
An electric parking brake control unit of an electric parking brake apparatus has an input section for receiving signals for performing automatic activation and deactivation, but does not have a determination function and a circuit for inputting signals from various sensors, which are necessary to determine whether to start the automatic activation/deactivation control. Therefore, when used in a vehicle which does not require an automatic control function and requires only a manual control function, the electric parking brake control unit can be used solely, with no signal line connected to the input section. When used in a vehicle which requires both the automatic control function and the manual control function, the input section is connected to a second control unit that can output signals for performing automatic activation and deactivation, whereby the electric parking brake control unit operates in cooperation with the second control unit.
