Parking Brake System: Testing and Inspection

Check





1. Pull the parking brake lever (A) with 196 N (20 kgf, 44 lbs) of force to fully apply the parking brake. The parking brake lever should be locked within the specified number of clicks (B).
2. Adjust the parking brake if the lever clicks are not within the specification.

NOTE: Minor parking brake lever adjustments (1 - 2 clicks) can be made with the adjusting nut in the equalizer.

If a larger adjustment is required, follow the major adjustment procedure using the adjuster at the parking brake drum.
After installing new parking brake shoes and/or new rear brake disc/drums, make sure you drive the vehicle for "break-in" .
