Because it is not how you do it correctly... Check the manual.... You need to start at the rear wheel and adjust the parking brake shoes, and then the cable and only then you adjust the foot travel if at all...
Hey George...this actually worked just like in your video! I have a 2014 Sonata with 67 kms on it, and the the parking brake was going right to the floor. I know that the parking brake pads are in decent condition, so it looks like it was just the brake cable that had stretched over the years. Now the parking brake holds the car on a slight grade at about half of the brake pedal travel. Easy peasy! Thanks again.
@@gilmick5431 if you have brake shows, there is an adjuster there too. So what you should do is to loosen the parking brake pedal back, then adjust the shoes and then the pedal, it is similar to this video ruclips.net/video/If3adPwCQa4/видео.html (maybe the rubber bung might be on the outside)
@@GicaPhp Okay, thanks George. I'll check out the adjustment on the brake shoes in the rear wheels. Up here in Ottawa, Canada we use snow tires from November till March. I'll have a look at it when I switch the tires out in the late fall. Thanks again for your very informative videos. Much appreciated! Gil
Lovely simplicity-just the way it should be presented. Just because the general public is so impatient for results, I might have sped up the racheting while I was editing it! ☺
No that’s not it Bro you need to adjust the star wheel on the the rear brakes and then you tighten the Adjusting nut that is under the car right in the center .
@@big_mac6037 Thank You for our comment. On the IONIQ the system has a pedal box, a cable with an adjusting nut, then has splitter (equalizer assembly) where you connect the left and the right cable, which then they go all the way to each rear caliper where the out skin is secured by a clip and the cable is just hooked up over a hook. You are right about another nut on the equalizer assembly. but that is not meant for adjusting the travel. Parking brake travel should have 6 to7 clicks when applying 30kgf on the pedal.
If I remeber correctly, if you take a rear wheel off, you should see on the drum/disc a rubber plug (if still there) through which you can adjust your shoes. And if still free play in the lever/pedal there is also an adjuster there. You should reset both (loosen them) and then adjust shoes 1st then lever/pedal travel.
@@GicaPhp first work ive jad to do. Its near mint. But most transmissions fail nowadays from not using the ebrake. It loads up the trans and u get nice clunk when u put in gear. I finally started using foot ebrakes after mechanic school 10 years ago. Havent lost a trans yet.
@coastalcleaningandmaintena2884 yours have drums for parking brake, this video applies for caliper operated parking brake. Sorry for finding this video awful. Any parking brake system with drums will have main adjustment from inside drums and fine adjustment on lever. None of that applies to electronic parking brake. I hope at least all this comments will help others in the future
@@GicaPhp theres zero adjustment. And yes most vehicles have 4 wheel disk with drum e brake here in canada. Anyhow new carbon ceramics going on soon ill deal with it then. And again your incorrect. Theres no traditional drum ebrake with your normal clicker spinner. Its quite hi tech
Local dealership wanted to charge me $100 to do this. Knew I'd be able to find it on RUclips. Thanks.
You're welcome.

Glad it helped, do your cables attach to the caliper or goes inside the disc?
@@GicaPhp Hi George, the cables activate brake shoes (drum brakes) which are located inside the rear discs. Gil

Can the same be done on a 2015 Hyundai Sonata with a parking brake pedal?
Never had one, but just have a look if there is a nut there
take it up at the rear wheels star wheel like drum brakes shoes in the day.
No shoes on this model :)
How do I fix my hand break spring on the santa fe, the spring is loose, I can't see wer it hooks.
I don't know by memory, sorry
That is it? Nothing else needs to be re-adjusted at the rear of the vehicle?
Nothing else, easy as that ;)
No that’s not it

How to adjust toyota premio footbrake
never done one, but if you look on the pedal and has a nut ust like the hyundai, it will be a similar process
Hi. I have a different problem. The switch is working, but my parking brake light wont come on or show on my instrument. Any ideas?
what vehicle?
Hey George Moraru you think is the same thing for a Kia Sorento 2011?
If I remeber correctly, if you take a rear wheel off, you should see on the drum/disc a rubber plug (if still there) through which you can adjust your shoes. And if still free play in the lever/pedal there is also an adjuster there. You should reset both (loosen them) and then adjust shoes 1st then lever/pedal travel.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
thanks
You're welcome!
Is a Toyota wish the same
No idea, never had the chance to work on one
This is a load of lies. Mine has a un adjustable cable and u tighten at the drum. If a 10mm wrench could fix it well wouldnt that be nice. Awful
What vehicle do you have, if you don't mind me asking?
