What is the parking brake cable all about?

The parking brake (also known as emergency brake) cable is a steel cable that is very thin. It connects the parking brake lever to the parking brake shoes. When you activate the parking brake, the cable pulls on the parking brake shoes, which causes them to clamp onto the brake drum or rotor. If the parking brake cable gets too much slack, the parking brake won’t work, and the cable will need to be adjusted.

Keep in mind:

After adjusting the parking brake cable, the parking brake should always be tested.
When the parking cable is adjusted it should be inspected to see if it needs to be replaced.

How it's done:

Adjust parking brake cable
Check the parking brake

Our recommendation:

The brake system is the most important part of your vehicle, but sometimes the parking brake is overlooked. Your parking brake cable should be inspected during all maintenance and servicing. If you ever notice that your vehicle’s parking break isn’t working effectively or at all, then you should schedule an inspection immediately.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to adjust the parking brake cable?

Parking brake does not work
Parking brake lever is easy to push

How important is this service?

Your parking brake shoes are connected to the parking brake lever by the parking brake cable. When you deploy the parking brake lever, the parking brake cable is pulled taut. This pulls on the parking brake shoes, and causes them to clamp on the rear brake drums or rotors. This clamping causing keeps your wheels from being able to move, and secures your car when it is parked. If the parking brake cable becomes too loose, then the tension created by pulling the parking brake lever isn’t enough to move the parking brake shoes. As a result, when you pull the parking brake lever, the parking brake will not work effectively.

Chevrolet Cruze L4-1.8L - Valve Cover Gasket Replacement - Neptune Beach, Florida

This was the second time I had schedule Joel. He is very professional and friendly. The actual cost was lower that the estimate. It is good to talk to the mechanic doing the work not a service representative like you would in a dealership. Excellent Mechanic!!!.

Chevrolet Cruze L4-1.4L Turbo - Tune-up - Altamonte Springs, Florida

It was my first time using this service and I was pretty apprehensive at first. Courtney was very polite and respectful. I was also very nervous about giving my keys to a complete stranger while I was working and he COMPLETELY understood and accommodated the request I had to make me feel more comfortable. Courtney took his time explaining the service he recommended and what I should do in the meantime. Gave 4 stars because I would have liked more detail on the spark plugs that were replaced but overall, a great mechanic that I will recommend.
