  Q: How to install the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly and related components on 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.

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

  A:

  One should start cable removal by disconnecting it from the negative terminal and waiting 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner commands. The removal of the No. 2 parking brake cable requires the same method as the No. 3 cable procedure. You must begin by taking out the shift lever knob sub-assembly which goes with manual transaxle while following it with front upper console panel sub-assembly, rear upper console panel sub-assembly and finally the rear console box sub-assembly. Proceed to take off the parking brake lever sub-assembly together with front door scuff plate RH and cowl side trim sub-assembly RH. First remove the assembly of front seat RH and center Exhaust Pipe and parking brake cable heat insulator by unscrewing the two nuts. The No. 1 parking brake cable assembly needs disconnection from the parking brake equalizer and then a floor carpet should be turned back before removing the 2 bolts that secure the parking brake cable. Remove the rear wheel and proceed to take off the rear brake cylinder mounting LH assembly with its rear disc brake cylinder and its rear disc. Proceed to eliminate the Parking Brake Shoe strut LH along with the parking brake shoe adjusting screw set and parking brake shoe assembly LH and parking brake shoe lever LH. The first procedure involves disconnecting the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly through the removal of its bolt and then unfastening it from the backing plate followed by removing the No. 1 fuel tank protector by unthreading its 5 bolts. Finally, the No. 3 parking brake cable assembly disconnects by removing the 4 bolts and body cable retainer before disconnecting from the parking brake equalizer and removing the cable.
