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.

Mercury Sable V6-3.8L - Tune-up - Lakewood, Washington
I am very impressed, both with "Your Mechanic" and also the mechanic, Ron Huret. He was very competent, and did not hurry or skip over anything. He was very concerned for the car's performance, as well as the customer's (me) satisfaction. The original estimate of labor time was 3 hours. Ron stayed almost 3 hours LATER than he was supposed to, fine tuning the timing, and little adjustments here and there. He is very diligent and patient enough to take the time out to explain simple things: (compression in the cylinders), and to show me things when I asked what it looked like: (fuel filter? Who knew?). That was very commendable and really not part of his job, as a mechanic, to humor the lady who owned the car, but he did, and now I can say that I watched him labor and sweat long enough to believe that he is knowledgeable and and also has many years of experience under his belt. I have a problem myself, in auto repair shops, because they take advantage of women, and lie to us. "Your Mechanic" is a God send. I do not have to leave my home, I do not have to deal with people I don't know or trust. Thank you so much!!! Thank you, very, very much, Ron! :)
