What is the Emergency/Parking Brake Cable all about?

The parking brake cable is a thin, steel cable that connects the parking brake lever to the parking brake shoes. It is located underneath the car. When you pull the lever, this cable enables the parking brake shoes to press against the rotor or the drum, creating the friction that keeps the car from rolling. It is just like using the brake pedal, but in this case, you are using the parking brake cable instead of brake fluids to apply the pressure. Over time the cable can rust and break. If the parking brake cable is broken, the car will roll even when the parking brake has been engaged.

Keep in mind:

The brake drums or pads often need to be removed to access the emergency brake cable. During this time, the drums and pads should be inspected to see if they also need to be replaced.

How it's done:

  • Remove and replace parking brake cable.
  • Adjust parking brake.
  • Test parking brake.

Our recommendation:

Always apply the parking brake when the car is parked. This will keep the parking brake adjusted properly. Your mechanic should inspect the parking brake cable during every brake service. They should also periodically spray rust penetrant chemical on the cable to prevent rust from building up.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Emergency/Parking Brake Cable?

  • Parking brake does not hold car.
  • Parking brake does not release.
  • Parking brake warning light is on.

How important is this service?

All services associated with proper function of your brakes are important. In addition to safety issues, ignoring small repairs can quickly lead to more serious (and more expensive) problems.

Cadillac Escalade V8-6.2L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Mount Laurel, New Jersey
Yoel was on time and very informative. Had previous technicians from major auto places who couldn't diagnose my brake noise when my brakes are warm. Yoel told me its possibly bad pad material. Very professional, thorough and fast. Highly recommended!

I figured out the problem, now I need a solution

Hi Danny. Without completing an actual inspection, it's impossible to tell you for certain.

My 2005 mini Cooper does not work with the key fob. I have to manually open the door and obviously its same key for ignition. I'm asking if I took out the circuit board from inside the key would that have any effect on the car working. Today I did that, this morning used the car no problem with the circuit in key and battery even though the key since I've had it has never worked remotely but then took out circuit later and went to car, opened it and put in ignition and it would not work. Lights work, windscreen wipers etc but car won't start up. Is this the key circuit or nothing to do with it.??? 郎
