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.

I could not physically be at my appt so there was a certain level of nervousness already. Robert showed up half an hour early, and was very communicative. The report was thorough and was available within minutes of the conclusion of my appt. I highly recommend this service!

Volvo XC90 L5-2.5L Turbo - Battery will not hold a charge - Portland, Oregon
I was told by a car stereo store that my alternator and battery were both bad. I asked Chris to replace both. Chris' testing revealed that our battery and alternator were fine. His honest assessment saved me about $700!

Volvo XC90 L6-3.2L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Watertown, Massachusetts
He was very knowledgeable & helpful in the way he explained the car details to me. I'm buying my first luxury car out of state sight unseen, so John's expert opinion was invaluable with giving me peace of mind that we are purchasing a quality vehicle. I just wish he lived in Atlanta, we'd have him be our mobile mechanic. Thank you John!
