Parking Brake System: Adjustments
Parking Brake Adjustment Clearance
1. With the parking brake fully released, back off the adjusting nuts at the hand brake lever until no tension is on the actuating lever at the caliper.
Then insert a 0.5 mm feeler gauge between the caliper lever and yoke.
NOTE: Cable must be connected to lever when measuring gap at caliper.
2. Then working at the hand brake lever, adjust the parking brake cable adjusting nuts in the passenger compartment just until the feeler gauge falls
out of the caliper. Recheck the gap with the feeler gauge.
Parking brake lever to yoke clearance: 0.5 ± 0.1 mm (0.019 ± 0.003 in).
NOTE: While a helper pulls up then releases the hand brake lever in the passenger compartment, check that the caliper lever fully releases. If not,
the lever is sticking in the caliper or the lever return spring is damaged. If the lever cannot be made to move freely, the caliper should be replaced.
3. Check that the parking brake is fully applied when the hand brake lever is pulled up 9 - 10 notches (clicks).
Check that the parking brake warning lamp works correctly.
