ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

Adjustment

Abnormal parking brake operation may be caused by the worn brake shoe lining, incorrect brake shoe 
clearance adjustment, incorrect parking brake control mechanism stroke or incorrect parking brake 
component installation. Perform the following procedures to adjust the parking brake control mechanism 
stroke:
1. Support and raise the vehicle to a proper height.
2. Remove the rear wheel (

See page 24-9

).

3. Remove the rear brake disc (

See page 26-41

).

4. Remove the auxiliary fascia console assembly (

See page 45-9

).

5. Adjust the parking brake shoe clearance:

a. Fully release the parking brake control mechanism.
b. Using a flat tip screwdriver, pry off the brake shoe 

adjusting hole plug, rotate the brake shoe clearance 
adjustment mechanism assembly to adjust parking 
brake shoe clearance, and attempt to rotate the rear 
brake disc by hand to confirm that brake disc rotates 
freely.

c. Check that there is no brake stuck for the brake shoe.

6. Adjust the parking brake control mechanism stroke:

a. Fully release the parking brake control mechanism.
b. Rotate the parking brake control mechanism 

adjustment nut, until the parking brake control 
mechanism stroke is correct.

c. Correct judging method: after adjustment, fully release parking brake control mechanism and rotate 

rear wheel by hand.
OK: Rear wheel can be rotated freely without dragging.
Pull up parking brake control mechanism until 1 clicking sound is heard. There is resistance when 
rotating rear wheel by hand. Pull up parking brake control mechanism until 5 to 6 clicking sounds are 
heard and the rear wheel cannot rotate.

d. When operating the parking brake control mechanism, check that brake warning light illuminates at the 

first click.
OK: Parking brake warning light always illuminates at the first click.

e. If result is not as specified, repeat above procedures until the parking brake control mechanism stroke 

is proper.

7. Install the auxiliary fascia console assembly (

See page 45-9

).

8. Install the rear brake disc (

See page 26-41

).

9. Install the rear wheel (

See page 24-9

).
