Automatic Parking Brake

Post by w102acd »

I recently did a bunch of module updates on my 2020 Ford Explorer Limited. After the updates, I noticed it now has an automatic parking brake that comes on automatically when you shift to park. It comes off fine either by pushing the button or tapping the accelerator, but neither me or my wife prefer it.

Is there a setting that can remove the automatic parking brake? I have googled and it doesn't appear that there is.

If not, does anyone now which module update caused this? I'm guessing it's either ABS or PCM.

Thanks!

hello;
As far as I know this update has been done for the reason that this new transmission with the dialer shifter are prone to disengage them self forr X reason and to prevent that now the vehicle self apply the parking brake to prevent it. it a safety issue.
