The Parking Brake Does Not Apply Or Does Not Hold Vehicle-SVT Performance Package
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
When the parking brake control is pressed, tension is applied to the front parking brake cable. This tension pulls on the RH rear parking brake cable, which is attached to the RH rear parking brake shoe actuator and applies the RH rear brake shoes. At the same time, the tension in the RH rear cable causes the RH rear conduit to attempt to straighten out. This straightening effect causes the RH rear conduit to pull on the LH rear parking brake cable, which is attached to the LH rear parking brake shoe actuator and applies the LH rear brake shoes.
