Test A: The Parking Brake Will Not Apply
PINPOINT TEST A: THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT APPLYNormal Operation
The parking brake system is cable-actuated and controlled by an independent foot-operated parking brake control that is self-adjusting. The parking brake system is actuated when the parking brake control is pressed. On E-150 - E-350 vehicles, the parking brake control applies tension to rear parking brake shoes, activating a shoe-and-drum system within the rear brake disc. On E-450 vehicles, the parking brake control applies tension to the transmission-mounted parking brake assembly. The parking brake is released by pulling the parking brake release handle.
Possible Causes
^ Parking brake cable
^ Parking brake control
^ Parking brake rear wheel components (E-150 - E-350)
^ Transmission-mounted parking brake assembly (E-450)
