2014 Emergency Brake mechanism.
Wanted-Discussion regarding the 2014 silverado EMERGENCY BRAKE mechanism's method of working:
Hello:
If I leave my Emergency Brake on and drive, a alarm (beeping i think) goes off. THIS IS GOOD (Drove my Dodge Tooo often with brake on).
How does the mechanism work? I mean, does the drive system sense the initial resistance to movement? Help? I know someone knows, and can explain in simple words.

here's my guess...the ebrake foot pedal grounds a signal wire when the brake is applied. the bcm knows the ebrake is applied when the voltage on this wire goes low. the bcm then sends a message via the data lines to sound the chime warning in the radio and warning light in the ipc.
