Parking Brake Inspection and Adjustment: Inspection
- Press the parking brake pedal (A) with 294 N (30.0 kgf, 66.1 lbf) of force to fully apply the parking brake. The parking brake pedal should be locked within the specified number of clicks (B).
Pedal locked clicks: 10 to 12
- Adjust the parking brake if the pedal clicks are not within the specification.NOTE:
Minor parking brake pedal adjustments (1 to 2 clicks) can be made with the adjusting nut (see parking brake minor adjustment). If a larger adjustment is required, follow the major adjustment procedure using the adjuster nut at the parking brake drum (see parking brake major adjustment). After installing new parking brake shoes and/or new brake disc/drum, make sure you drive the vehicle for "break-in" (see PARKING BRAKE SHOE LINING BREAK-IN ).
