E brake stuck on the floor. 1992 silverado
A parking brake (informally known as "emergency brake" or simply "e-brake") is a secondary brake system that uses brake cables to engage the rear brakes rather than the using the hydraulic brake system which actuates both the front and rear brakes. The brake cables are pulled by a ratcheting mechanism inside a cabin which can be a pull lever or a push pedal. In either case the mechanism must be able to release the cable tension. Although rare, a problem in this mechanism could prevent the ratchet from disengaging and in turn keep the parking brake engaged. A much more common problem however is with the cables or brakes themselves. Rust and corrosion that accumulates over time can cause the moving parts to bind and not release from their engaged position. To resolve, the binding parts must be moved back into their original resting position manually and then replaced with non-rusted/corroded parts. In some extreme cases it may be necessary to actually cut through a brake cable in order to release tension and make repairs.

E break stuck to the floor. 1992 silverado
The parking bake assembly return spring may be broken. Is it possible to manually lift the pedal up while releasing the brake? The cable could be seized not allowing the pedal to retract.

2014 chevy silverado immobilized
Hi,
if you performed these tasks and still cannot start the car, please double check that you're using all products from the manufacturer of the car (or affiliated). This type of thing happens with printers...where the main device won't work if it senses any 3rd party or unauthorized components. You can try to call your local dealership to see if your car is built like this. Thank you.

Can a p1637 and p1638 code cause surging and gradual shut down of the truck
DTC P1637
The powertrain control module (PCM) / engine control module (ECM) uses the charge indicator control circuit, and the generator 2 turn on signal circuit on diesels with dual generators, to control the generator(s). A high side driver within the PCM/ECM allows the PCM/ECM to turn the generator ON and OFF. When generator operation is desired, the PCM/ECM sends a 10-11 volts-volt signal to the voltage regulator via the generator turn on signal circuit. This causes the voltage regulator to begin controlling the generator field circuit. Once the generator is enabled by the PCM/ECM, the voltage regulator controls generator output independently of the PCM/ECM. Under certain operating conditions, the PCM/ECM can turn OFF the generator by turning OFF the voltage on the charge indicator control circuit. The PCM/ECM has fault detection circuitry which monitors the state of the charge indicator control circuit. If the fault detection circuit senses a voltage other than what is expected, the charge indicator will turn ON and this DTC will set. The voltage regulator also contains fault detection circuitry. If the regulator detects a problem, the regulator will ground the charge indicator control circuit, pulling the voltage low. This also causes the charge indicator to turn ON and the PCM/ECM to set the DTC.
What engine is in your truck ?
DTC P1638
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the generator field duty cycle signal circuit to monitor the duty cycle of the generator. The generator field duty cycle signal circuit connects to the high side of the field winding in the generator. A pulse width modulated (PWM) high side driver in the voltage regulator turns the field winding ON and OFF. The PCM uses the PWM signal input to determine the generator load on the engine. This allows the PCM to adjust the idle speed to compensate for high electrical loads.
The PCM monitors the state of the generator field duty cycle signal circuit. When the key is in the RUN position and the engine is OFF, the PCM should detect a duty cycle near 0 percent. However, when the engine is running, the duty cycle should be between 5-100 percent. The PCM monitors the PWM signal using a key ON test and a RUN test. During the tests, if the PCM detects an out of range PWM signal, DTC P1638 will set. When the DTC sets, the PCM will send a class 2 serial data message to the IPC to illuminate the charge indicator.
