Abstract
A parking brake control circuit engages the parking brake of a vehicle when the transmission of the vehicle is in the 'park' position and the engine of the vehicle is turned off, without requiring the constant application of electrical power. The parking brake control circuit utilizes latching solenoid technology that eliminates the need for a constant voltage source. A time-delay relay is used to change the state of the latching solenoid. The time-delay relay is preferably activated through a circuit containing an engine oil pressure switch, a transmission park switch and a vehicle speed switch. Activation of the relay latches the solenoid in a position that allows the parking brake to be applied, without requiring the application of a constant voltage to the solenoid. Accordingly, the possibility of inadvertent brake application due to electrical failure is avoided.
