2001 pontiac sunfire parking brake adjustment Sign In

2001 Pontiac Sunfire SE 4 Cylinder Automatic Transmission 160000 miles

I have taken out the middle console and traced the parking brake cable from the handle all the way to the back brakes with no luck finding the place to adjust them. I am wondering if I have completely looked over it or is there really no place to adjust the parking brake cable on this particular vehicle. Any help will be great, its really driving me up the wall that there is nothing about this on the internet that I have found thus far.

Be sure the rear brakes themselves are adjusted properly first.

Park Brake Adjustment


Notice: Parking brake adjustment is not necessary. This is a self adjusting system and damage may result from attempting to adjust or modify this system in any way. It may be necessary to adjust the rear brakes to obtain the proper tension in the system.



  1. Fully apply and release the hand brake 4-6 times in order to self adjust.
  2. The parking brake (2) is self adjusting.
