  Q: How to adjust Parking Brake Cable on Honda Passport?

  A: The parking brake system should effectively prevent the vehicle from rolling when the parking brake handle is pulled back 9 to 11 clicks for models with a handle under the dash or pulled up 6 clicks for those with a lever in the center console; if it fails to do so, the cable needs adjustment. Locate the cable adjusting nut specific to your model: for models with a handle under the dash, it is found under the vehicle at the cable equalizer where the front and rear cables meet, while for models with a center console lever, it is located on the lever itself after removing a plastic trim piece. To adjust the cable, first loosen the locknut, then turn the adjusting nut to eliminate slack. After making adjustments, apply the parking brake several times to ensure the handle or lever travel meets specifications, check that the rear brakes do not drag when released, and confirm that the parking brake light on the dashboard illuminates when engaged. Finally, lower the vehicle and test that the parking brake can hold it on a moderate incline; if it still rolls, inspect the rear brakes or check the Parking Brake Shoes as necessary.
