2010 Scion tC Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly and related components on 2010 Scion tC?

  A: The installation of the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly requires connecting the parking brake cable to the parking brake cable equalizer and securing it with 4 bolts while torquing bolt A to 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 in-lbf) and bolt B to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). Use five bolts to secure the No. 1 fuel tank protector while torquing them to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). The No. 3 parking brake cable assembly needs a bolt connection to the backing plate with torque setting at 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm, 71 in-lbf). The procedure requires parking brake shoe lever LH and assembly LH installation with adjusting screw set and parking brake shoe strut LH before application of high-temperature grease. Position the rear disc brake cylinder assembly LH on the mounting point of the rear disc along with the rear disc brake cylinder mounting LH. Tore the parking brake shoe clearance before attaching the rear wheel by torquing it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf). Fasten the No. 1 parking brake cable assembly to the parking brake equalizer with 2 bolts at 12.5 Nm (128 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Afterward, put on the floor carpet and complete the parking brake cable connection to the equalizer. Connect the parking brake cable heat insulator with 2 nuts before torquing them to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). The assembly work includes installing the center exhaust pipe assembly together with the parking brake lever sub-assembly, front seat assembly RH, the cowl side trim sub-assembly RH, front door scuff plate RH, and rear console box assembly followed by rear upper console panel sub-assembly and front upper console panel sub-assembly and shift lever knob sub-assembly (for Manual Transaxle). The cable should be connected to the negative battery terminal while paying attention to potential post-reconnect initialization requirements. Perform a test of the ABS sensor signal followed by parking brake shoe and disc settlement before checking and adjusting the parking brake lever motion and inspecting for exhaust gas leakages.
