of the parking brake, disconnect the harness to the parking brake and push the vehicle to confirm that
the brake is applied.
The rubber band dust seal should fit snug around the brake. Inspect the seal for any indications of
cracking or fatigue.

adjustments. The brake is OFF when power is applied to the brake.

Worn brake pads. See
•
Worn brake rotor. See

If you are experiencing a low brake pedal or lack of braking power, the entire brake system should be
