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.

Mercedes-Benz R350 V6-3.5L - Oil Change - Chula Vista, California
Chris was punctual and was very thorough in the 50 point inspection as he listened well to my concerns. He did an excellent job explaining "codes." I was very comfortable and felt like I had an honest mechanic that I could trust. I highly recommend this affordable service in comparison to brick and mortar shops - coming to your home is the cherry on top!

I have a 2012 Dodge journey and the key [battery](/topics-battery-dodge/) was low so I changed it and now it won't work

Hello moose! I hope things are well and the Klondike. I have a 2008 Ford E350 and the service RSC light an alarm as well as the ABS light is on. The Ford dealership said that it is the stability control cluster that needs to be replaced. Other mechanics have told me that they cannot replace it because they don't know how to program it. I was wondering if I could just purchase one and replace it myself and then have the Ford dealership program it.

How can we help?
