ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
Adjustment
Abnormal parking brake operation may be caused by 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 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. 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 (arrow).

RM16270011

c. Rotate the brake shoe clearance adjustment

mechanism assembly clockwise or counterclockwise
to adjust parking brake shoe clearance.
Shrink

Expansion

RM16270020

d. Attempt to rotate the rear brake disc by hand to confirm that brake disc rotates freely. Check that there
is no brake catching for brake shoe.
4. Adjust the parking brake control mechanism stroke:
a. Fully release the parking brake control mechanism.
b. Rotate the parking brake control mechanism adjusting
nut (arrow), until parking brake control mechanism
stroke is correct.

RM16270030

 27 - PARKING BRAKE

c. Correct judgment method: after adjustment, completely release the parking brake control mechanism
and rotate the rear wheel by hand.
OK: Rear wheel can rotate 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 2 or 3 clicking sounds are
heard and 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. Followings should be met after adjusting parking brake control mechanism stroke:
Parking brake force should be less than 250 N when vehicle is parking on a ramp with a slope of 20%.
Parking brake stroke is 3 to 6 teeth when vehicle is driving on general road.
f. If result is not as specified, repeat above procedures until the parking brake control mechanism stroke
is proper.
5. Install the rear wheel (See page 24-9).
