PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE 
CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

M1361000901224

STROKE CHECK (CONTROL FORCE 
APPROXIMATELY 200 N)

Standard value: 6 

− 7 notches

STROKE ADJUSTMENT

If the parking brake lever stroke is out of the standard 
range, adjust as described below:
1. Remove the rear floor console front panel 

assembly (Refer to GROUP 52A 

− Rear Floor 

Console Assembly ).

Adjusting nut

Cable rod

2. Loosen the adjusting nut to the end of the cable 

rod in order to allow slack in the cables.

3. Check that the parking brake lever on the caliper 

side is touching the parking brake lever bracket.

NOTE: If the parking brake lever is not touching 
the parking brake lever bracket, the parking brake 
cable might be stuck or routed incorrectly, or there 
might be a problem with the automatic adjustment 
mechanism inside the rear brake calipers. There-
fore, it is necessary to check the parking brake 
cable and to disassemble and inspect the rear 
brake calipers.

4. Depress the brake pedal repeatedly until the 

brake pedal has no change in its stroke.

NOTE: Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly 
adjusts pad clearance correctly.

CAUTION

Be careful that the parking brake lever notch 
number should be within the standard range. If 
the notch number is too low, rear brake dragging 
can be caused.

5. Adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the 

standard value by turning the adjusting nut. After 
adjustment, check that there is no free play 
between the adjusting nut and the parking brake 
lever.

6. After the parking brake lever stroke is adjusted, 

raise the rear of the vehicle. Release the parking 
brake, and turn the rear wheels to confirm that the 
rear brakes are not dragging.
