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 S10 V6-4.3L - Shock Absorber Replacement (Front) - Vallejo, California

This is the second time I've had Joshua come and fix a problem with my truck, and once again I'm extremely happy. He has a friendly professional manner, shows up when he says he will, completes the job in a timely fashion, and also checks to see how the previous work he did is holding up. I highly recommend Joshua and request him again for future fixes.

Chevrolet S10 L4-2.2L - Car is not starting - Portland, Oregon

Russell was engaged, informative and knowledgeable. However he convinced me not to install a new starter motor based on his diagnosis. He reattached some loose wires and advised some suggestions for a future repairs. I took the truck out and after two stops it failed again to start in a Costco parking lot. I called AAA for a tow. I explained the problem(s) and he banged the starter with a hammer. It started. I drove to my mech's garage and advised replace the starter. Sorry but I wasted my $$.
