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.

Mercedes-Benz S550 V8-5.5L - Fuel Pump Replacement - Redwood City, California
Khoa was timely and polite. He seemed knowledgeable. The only reason I didn’t give him 5 stars is a flaw with the way the business is set up. The dealership (Autobahn Motors) diagnosed the problem as a failed fuel pump and recommended replacement. They wanted to charge $2000, so I had my car towed home and used YourMechanic. Khoa replaced the fuel pump for $580, but it turns out that isn’t the problem. To find out what is the problem I was told I needed to make another appointment. A regular mechanic could have proceeded to determine what is the real problem. So now I have spent $580 and I am still without a car or a solution.
