• Q: How to remove the parking brake cable on 2010 Scion tC?

  A: Starting the procedure requires disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal for a minimum of 90 seconds to avoid activating Air Bag and seat belt pretensioners. A few systems demand organization initialization after the connection process. The first step includes removing the shift lever knob sub-assembly for manual transaxle before proceeding to remove the front upper console panel sub-assembly followed by the rear upper console panel sub-assembly and rear console box sub-assembly. Before continuing with this procedure you need to remove three components that include the parking brake lever sub-assembly and front door scuff plate RH and cowl side trim sub-assembly RH. Disassemble the front seat assembly RH by removing its 2 nuts then separate the center exhaust pipe assembly followed by the removal of parking brake cable heat insulator. Disassemble the No. 1 parking brake cable assembly after disconnecting it from the parking brake equalizer then rolling back the floor carpet before taking out the 2 bolts. Start by separating the rear wheel from the vehicle and defeating the rear disc brake cylinder mounting LH combined with its assembly LH and the rear disc. The next step includes getting rid of the parking brake shoe strut LH with additional components: parking brake shoe adjusting screw set and parking brake shoe assembly LH and parking brake shoe lever LH. Use a socket wrench to detach the parking brake cable assembly No. 3 at the backing plate while removing its bolt. To finish all work you must remove the No. 1 fuel tank protector by unbolt its 5 nuts, then you can eliminate the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly after taking off its 4 bolts and body cable retainer before disconnecting it from the parking brake equalizer, along with its parking brake cable.
