Locking Out
- Block the tire and wheels so the vehicle does not move once the vehicle parking brake lever is released.
- Fully apply the parking brake lever, then shift the transmission into Neutral.
- Remove the screws attaching the center console, then remove the center console.
- Lower the parking brake lever handle to the released position.
- Grasp the parking brake lever output cable by hand and pull upward. Continue pulling on the cable until a pin punch can be inserted through the hole in the lever mechanism sector gear and the hole in the right side of its mounting bracket. See Fig 1. This will lock the parking brake automatic adjustment mechanism in place and take tension off the parking brake cables.
