The switch has 10 connections, and would require extensive knowledge of the Electric Park Brake Module to pull off what you want.
Surprised?
Well sch911, you got me going. I pulled the switch so I could see the back and guess what? You diagram is correct! There are ten wires going into the switch. (remember the good old days?)
BUT... it appears to me that it would be pretty easy to install a little solenoid that would mechanically flip the brake switch.
That way I have no invasive connection to the wiring. Still an easy install and I could even make it look pretty.
Please don't try to do this!
The parking brake system is for holding the vehicle in place when parked, nothing more. It has no ability to modulate braking like the service brakes. And because it's tied into the rest of the braking and vehicle networked systems you'll only end up with the MIL, Brake, or ABS lights on, and dozens of fault codes in the various computers. It's not worth it.
