Loss of tension in the parking brake cable will cause
illumination of the parking brake light and activation of the
limiting feature. If this occurs, inspect and adjust parking brake
cable tension. If performing this service is difficult due to
conditions or location, open the hood and temporarily
disconnect the parking brake connector. Reconnect the
connector as soon as practicable and adjust the parking brake
cable to proper tension.
1. Pull back on the parking brake lever (located in the dash).
2. After 2 to 3 clicks the “(P)” brake light should illuminate
on the instrument cluster and the wheels of the vehicle
should not rotate when turning by hand. After 8 full clicks
of lever travel, the vehicle should not roll while parked.
3. If the vehicle moves, adjustment is necessary.
4. Adjust the parking brake cable where the cable attaches to
the caliper mount bracket located on the rear gearcase.
Adjustment Procedure: Refer to “Chapter 9 - Brakes”
for complete adjustment procedure.
