Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the parking brake control is pressed, tension is applied to the front parking brake cable. This tension pulls on the LH rear parking brake cable, which is attached to the LH rear parking brake shoe actuator and applies the LH rear brake shoes. At the same time, the tension in the LH rear cable causes the LH rear conduit to attempt to straighten out. This straightening effect causes the LH rear conduit to pull on the RH rear parking brake cable, which is attached to the RH rear parking brake shoe actuator and applies the RH rear brake shoes.
