Parking Brake System: Description and Operation




Parking Brake

The parking brake system consists of the following components:

- Parking brake control

- Parking brake cable equalizer

- Parking brake warning indicator switch

- Rear parking brake cables and conduits

- Rear brake shoes

- Rear brake shoe actuators

The parking brake system is cable operated and controlled by an independent hand-operated parking brake control. The parking brake control actuates the rear brake shoes directly through a cable system.

A red brake warning indicator, located in the instrument cluster, will illuminate to signal the driver that the parking brake is applied. For information and diagnosis of the brake warning indicator, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators.
