Parking Brake System: Description and Operation




Parking Brake

The parking brake system consists of the following components:

- Parking brake cables

- Parking brake control

- Parking brake warning indicator switch

The parking brake system is a mechanical system that activates a self-adjusting brake system within the rear brake caliper.

The parking brake system is cable-actuated and controlled by an independent, foot-operated parking brake control. The parking brake control applies tension to the rear brake pads through the front parking brake cable and conduit and the LH and RH rear parking brake cables. The parking brake warning indicator, located in the instrument cluster, illuminates to signal the driver that the parking brake is applied or to signal a low brake fluid condition. The warning indicator system is diagnosed in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
