If the rear brakes have been repaired or replaced, start the engine and press the brake pedal several times to test the brakes before adjusting the parking brake cable. Incorrectly adjusted rear brakes (disc or drum) will affect the operation of the parking brake mechanism.
1. Raise and securely support the vehicle.
2. On vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes, ensure that the rear brake caliper lever contacts the caliper pin.
3. On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes, ensure that the rear brakes are properly adjusted.
4. Pull the parking brake lever one click.
5. Remove the access cover behind the console or the rear seat ashtray. On a 1990-91 Accord, remove the center console to access the adjuster nut. Tighten the adjuster nut until the rear wheels feel a little sluggish when turning.
6. Release the parking brake lever and check that the rear wheels do not brake when turning.
7. With the equalizer properly adjusted, the parking brake should be fully engaged when the parking brake lever is pulled out 7-11 clicks on 1984-89 Accord and 1984-91 Prelude or 4-8 clicks on 1990-91 Accord.
