Abstract: A dash switch module for a vehicle includes a controller transmitting a parking brake control request message to a vehicle ECU, a signal receiving component receiving a transmitted status signal from a sensor on the vehicle indicating a status of a vehicle component, and a processor receiving the transmitted status signal from the signal receiving component. The processor generates a dash switch module signal based on the transmitted status signal. The processor transmits the dash switch module signal to the vehicle electronic control unit.
