The power boost converter supplying power to the solenoid valve controlling vehicle running and parking brake operation is mounted in an inappropriate position, which may allow rainwater ingress and reduce the converter's function. Consequently, parking brake release voltage may decrease, risking unintended parking brake engagement during vehicle operation.
