driving with e-brake on

[TrailBlazzin]

my g/f drove my tb for about a 1/4 mile with the e-brake on....

the first time after this happened my SEL is on..... now what??

Did she mess something up?? I don't have code reader so I will have to wait till I have some free time to get it read. Guess it will be sitting in the driveway till monday :(

:( Ouch.... Another reason why you shouldn't let your GF drive your truck

Well I Fked the Ebrake once, driving around with it on (don't ask why) Long time ago...NO warning on the dash

I had to replace the emergency brake drum shoe ( I think that's what you call it, a ring shaped like horseshoe kind of)

Truck started to make a LARGE annoying rattle... comming from the back

how much was the parking shoe replacement??

:undecided Don't remember... that was like 3 or 4 years ago

I'm not saying that's your problem, pull the codes and see what comes up

AutoZone has it for $74.99. I would definately get the code read though, I don't know why it would throw a code for that.

I'd be willing to bet that your light isn't on because of worn shoes...but they may be glazed a little. Advance Auto has them for like 45 or so I think...although I could be wrong. I work there, I'll have to check on that again. We have what's called a "Hat" setup...where it's a regular rotor, but with a drum setup as the parking brake inside. It's really clever I think...but can give you a few problems. You may need to adjust your shoes out, if they've been worn down some; check and see if you've got tension on your ebrake handle. Good luck with it...keep us posted about your cel, I'm curious about this one.

Do a search for Parking brake, ans you'll find some pics and how-to threads on replacing the parking brake (don't try using it in emergencies :duh: )


Oh...& post your code #(s) in a new thread when you get them read (PXXXX) :yes:

You wont get a check engine light from the brakes. Only an ABS light or the parking brake indicator light. The p-brake dash light will stay on if the p-brake is not released all the way, plus you will get an audible *ding-ding-ding* every 10sec or so if you are in gear with the p-brake on.

If she could drive a 1/4 m with it on, there wasn't much of it applying braking anyway. The shoe and or cables already needed adjusting or replacing. So my guess, not much damage, but u need to inspect and replace/adjust.

[TrailBlazzin]

I only had it pulled up just enough so that my truck wouldn't roll when shifting out of park... there was still plenty to pull!!

[TrailBlazzin]

went to autozone and had the code read:

p1336

It must be related to me not having the case relearn done yet...:duh:

must be some weird coincidence :undecided

[PROSPHOTO]

:yes: You need to get the Crankshaft Variation Relearn Done...Call around to your local dealers; you shouldn't have to pay more than $10 :nono:

1/4 miles? and during that time.. she never heard the DING DING DING DING to warn her?
Ive done it several times- but I only got as far as maybe 20 FT and it started to DING......
howd she go 1/4 mile?

[TrailBlazzin]

she was going from my buddies house to mine, we live a 1/4 mile apart and she thought it was just dinging cause the passanger door wasn't completely shut.....

thanks for all the input :thx
